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

  - octeontx2-af: Add validation for lmac type Upon physical link change, firmware reports to the kernel about     the change along with the details like speed, lmac_type_id, etc. Kernel derives lmac_type based on     lmac_type_id received from firmware. In a few scenarios, firmware returns an invalid lmac_type_id, which     is resulting in below kernel panic. This patch adds the missing validation of the lmac_type_id field.
