Description

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

- Transmit requests in Xen's virtual network protocol can consist of multiple parts. While not really
useful, except for the initial part any of them may be of zero length, i.e. carry no data at all. Besides
a certain initial portion of the to be transferred data, these parts are directly translated into what
Linux calls SKB fragments. Such converted request parts can, when for a particular SKB they are all of
length zero, lead to a de-reference of NULL in core networking code. (CVE-2023-46838)
