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

  - media: ivsc: Fix crash at shutdown due to missing mei_cldev_disable() calls Both the ACE and CSI driver     are missing a mei_cldev_disable() call in their remove() function. This causes the mei_cl client to stay     part of the mei_device->file_list list even though its memory is freed by mei_cl_bus_dev_release() calling     kfree(cldev->cl). This leads to a use-after-free when mei_vsc_remove() runs mei_stop() which first removes     all mei bus devices calling mei_ace_remove() and mei_csi_remove() followed by mei_cl_bus_dev_release() and     then calls mei_cl_all_disconnect() which walks over mei_device->file_list dereferecing the just freed     cldev->cl. And mei_vsc_remove() it self is run at shutdown because of the     platform_device_unregister(tp->pdev) in vsc_tp_shutdown() When building a kernel with KASAN this leads to     the following KASAN report: [ 106.634504]     ================================================================== [ 106.634623] BUG: KASAN: slab-use-     after-free in mei_cl_set_disconnected (drivers/misc/mei/client.c:783) mei [ 106.634683] Read of size 4 at     addr ffff88819cb62018 by task systemd-shutdow/1 [ 106.634729] [ 106.634767] Tainted: [E]=UNSIGNED_MODULE [     106.634770] Hardware name: Dell Inc.
