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: nvme-tcp: fix potential memory
corruption in nvme_tcp_recv_pdu() nvme_tcp_recv_pdu() doesn't check the validity of the header length.
When header digests are enabled, a target might send a packet with an invalid header length (e.g. 255),
causing nvme_tcp_verify_hdgst() to access memory outside the allocated area and cause memory corruptions

length. (CVE-2025-21927)
