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

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dm: fix dm_blk_report_zones If     dm_get_live_table() returned NULL, dm_put_live_table() was never called. Also, it is possible that     md->zone_revalidate_map will change while calling this function. Only read it once, so that we are always     using the same value. Otherwise we might miss a call to dm_put_live_table(). Finally, while     md->zone_revalidate_map is set and a process is calling blk_revalidate_disk_zones() to set up the zone     append emulation resources, it is possible that another process, perhaps triggered by     blkdev_report_zones_ioctl(), will call dm_blk_report_zones(). If blk_revalidate_disk_zones() fails, these     resources can be freed while the other process is still using them, causing a use-after-free error.
    blk_revalidate_disk_zones() will only ever be called when initially setting up the zone append emulation     resources, such as when setting up a zoned dm-crypt table for the first time. Further table swaps will not     set md->zone_revalidate_map or call blk_revalidate_disk_zones(). However it must be called using the new     table (referenced by md->zone_revalidate_map) and the new queue limits while the DM device is suspended.
    dm_blk_report_zones() needs some way to distinguish between a call from blk_revalidate_disk_zones(), which     must be allowed to use md->zone_revalidate_map to access this not yet activated table, and all other calls     to dm_blk_report_zones(), which should not be allowed while the device is suspended and cannot use     md->zone_revalidate_map, since the zone resources might be freed by the process currently calling     blk_revalidate_disk_zones(). Solve this by tracking the process that sets md->zone_revalidate_map in     dm_revalidate_zones() and only allowing that process to make use of it in dm_blk_report_zones().
