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

  - Debian Linux - git-lfs - Git LFS is a Git extension for versioning large files. In Git LFS versions 0.5.2     through 3.7.0, when populating a Git repository's working tree with the contents of Git LFS objects,     certain Git LFS commands may write to files visible outside the current Git working tree if symbolic or     hard links exist which collide with the paths of files tracked by Git LFS. The git lfs checkout and git     lfs pull commands do not check for symbolic links before writing to files in the working tree, allowing an     attacker to craft a repository containing symbolic or hard links that cause Git LFS to write to arbitrary     file system locations accessible to the user running these commands. As well, when the git lfs checkout     and git lfs pull commands are run in a bare repository, they could write to files visible outside the     repository. The vulnerability is fixed in version 3.7.1. As a workaround, support for symlinks in Git may     be disabled by setting the core.symlinks configuration option to false, after which further clones and     fetches will not create symbolic links. However, any symbolic or hard links in existing repositories will     still provide the opportunity for Git LFS to write to their targets.
