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

  - RDMA/srpt: Add a check for valid 'mad_agent' pointer When unregistering MAD agent, srpt module has a non-     null check for 'mad_agent' pointer before invoking ib_unregister_mad_agent(). This check can pass if     'mad_agent' variable holds an error value. The 'mad_agent' can have an error value for a short window when     srpt_add_one() and srpt_remove_one() is executed simultaneously. In srpt module, added a valid pointer     check for 'sport->mad_agent' before unregistering MAD agent. This issue can hit when RoCE driver     unregisters ib_device Stack Trace: ------------ BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address:
