Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iommu/vt-d: Remove cache tags before
 disabling ATS The current implementation removes cache tags after disabling ATS, leading to potential
 memory leaks and kernel crashes. Specifically, CACHE_TAG_DEVTLB type cache tags may still remain in the
 list even after the domain is freed, causing a use-after-free condition. This issue really shows up when
 multiple VFs from different PFs passed through to a single user-space process via vfio-pci. In such cases,
 the kernel may crash with kernel messages like: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address:
