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/sched: ets: fix divide by zero in
 the offload path Offloading ETS requires computing each class' WRR weight: this is done by averaging over
 the sums of quanta as 'q_sum' and 'q_psum'. Using unsigned int, the same integer size as the individual
 DRR quanta, can overflow and even cause division by zero, like it happened in the following splat: Oops:
