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

  - Bluetooth: hci_sock: Prevent race in socket write iter and sock bind There is a potential race condition     between sock bind and socket write iter. bind may free the same cmd via mgmt_pending before write iter     sends the cmd, just as syzbot reported in UAF[1]. Here we use hci_dev_lock to synchronize the two, thereby     avoiding the UAF mentioned in [1].
