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

  - nfc: pn533: Clear nfc_target before being used Fix a slab-out-of-bounds read that occurs in nla_put()     called from nfc_genl_send_target() when target->sensb_res_len, which is duplicated from an nfc_target in     pn533, is too large as the nfc_target is not properly initialized and retains garbage values. Clear     nfc_targets with memset() before they are used. Found by a modified version of syzkaller. BUG: KASAN:
    slab-out-of-bounds in nla_put Call Trace: memcpy nla_put nfc_genl_dump_targets genl_lock_dumpit     netlink_dump __netlink_dump_start genl_family_rcv_msg_dumpit genl_rcv_msg netlink_rcv_skb genl_rcv     netlink_unicast netlink_sendmsg sock_sendmsg ____sys_sendmsg ___sys_sendmsg __sys_sendmsg do_syscall_64     (CVE-2022-50656)
