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: net: bonding: fix NULL deref in
bond_debug_rlb_hash_show rlb_clear_slave intentionally keeps RLB hash-table entries on the
rx_hashtbl_used_head list with slave set to NULL when no replacement slave is available. However,
bond_debug_rlb_hash_show visites client_info->slave without checking if it's NULL. Other used-list
iterators in bond_alb.c already handle this NULL-slave state safely: - rlb_update_client returns early on
!client_info->slave - rlb_req_update_slave_clients, rlb_clear_slave, and rlb_rebalance compare slave
values before visiting - lb_req_update_subnet_clients continues if slave is NULL The following NULL deref
crash can be trigger in bond_debug_rlb_hash_show: [ 1.289791] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference,
