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: idpf: fix checksums set in     idpf_rx_rsc() idpf_rx_rsc() uses skb_transport_offset(skb) while the transport header is not set yet. This     triggers the following warning for CONFIG_DEBUG_NET=y builds.
