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

  - ice: fix NULL pointer dereference in ice_reset_all_vfs() ice_reset_all_vfs() ignores the return value of     ice_vf_rebuild_vsi(). When the VSI rebuild fails (e.g. during NVM firmware update via nvmupdate64e),     ice_vsi_rebuild() tears down the VSI on its error path, leaving txq_map and rxq_map as NULL. The     subsequent unconditional call to ice_vf_post_vsi_rebuild() leads to a NULL pointer dereference in     ice_ena_vf_q_mappings() when it accesses vsi->txq_map[0]. The single-VF reset path in ice_reset_vf()     already handles this correctly by checking the return value of ice_vf_reconfig_vsi() and skipping     ice_vf_post_vsi_rebuild() on failure. Apply the same pattern to ice_reset_all_vfs(): check the return     value of ice_vf_rebuild_vsi() and skip ice_vf_post_vsi_rebuild() and ice_eswitch_attach_vf() on failure.
    The VF is left safely disabled (ICE_VF_STATE_INIT not set, VFGEN_RSTAT not set to VFACTIVE) and can be     recovered via a VFLR triggered by a PCI reset of the VF (sysfs reset or driver rebind). Note that this     patch does not prevent the VF VSI rebuild from failing during NVM update  the underlying cause is     firmware being in a transitional state while the EMP reset is processed, which can cause Admin Queue     commands (ice_add_vsi, ice_cfg_vsi_lan) to fail. This patch only prevents the subsequent NULL pointer     dereference that crashes the kernel when the rebuild does fail. crash> bt PID: 50795 TASK:
