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

  - wifi: ath11k: Ignore frags from uninitialized peer in dp. When max virtual ap interfaces are configured in     all the bands with ACS and hostapd restart is done every 60s, a crash is observed at random times. In this     certain scenario, a fragmented packet is received for self peer, for which rx_tid and rx_frags are not     initialized in datapath. While handling this fragment, crash is observed as the rx_frag list is     uninitialised and when we walk in ath11k_dp_rx_h_sort_frags, skb null leads to exception. To address this,     before processing received fragments we check dp_setup_done flag is set to ensure that peer has completed     its dp peer setup for fragment queue, else ignore processing the fragments.
