The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - media: wl128x: Fix atomicity violation in fmc_send_cmd() Atomicity violation occurs when the     fmc_send_cmd() function is executed simultaneously with the modification of the fmdev->resp_skb value.
    Consider a scenario where, after passing the validity check within the function, a non-null     fmdev->resp_skb variable is assigned a null value. This results in an invalid fmdev->resp_skb variable     passing the validity check. As seen in the later part of the function, skb = fmdev->resp_skb; when the     invalid fmdev->resp_skb passes the check, a null pointer dereference error may occur at line 478, evt_hdr     = (void *)skb->data; To address this issue, it is recommended to include the validity check of     fmdev->resp_skb within the locked section of the function. This modification ensures that the value of     fmdev->resp_skb does not change during the validation process, thereby maintaining its validity. This     possible bug is found by an experimental static analysis tool developed by our team. This tool analyzes     the locking APIs to extract function pairs that can be concurrently executed, and then analyzes the     instructions in the paired functions to identify possible concurrency bugs including data races and     atomicity violations.
