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

  - bpf: Skip unsettled links in link iterator bpf_link_prime() inserts a link into link_idr before     anon_inode_getfile() succeeds and before bpf_link_settle() publishes the ID in link->id. bpf_link_by_id()     treats such an ID-zero link as unsettled, but the link iterator takes a reference without this check. If     anon_inode_getfile() then fails, the creator removes the ID and frees its still-private link directly. The     iterator is left with a dangling reference and its next bpf_link_put() accesses freed memory. Treat ID-     zero entries as transient in bpf_link_get_curr_or_next(), just as bpf_link_by_id() does. BUG: KASAN: slab-     use-after-free in bpf_link_put Write of size 8 by task exp/384 Call Trace: bpf_link_put     kernel/bpf/syscall.c:3372 bpf_link_seq_next kernel/bpf/link_iter.c:33 bpf_seq_read     kernel/bpf/bpf_iter.c:158 vfs_read fs/read_write.c:572 ksys_read fs/read_write.c:716 do_syscall_64     arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:84 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:121 Kernel panic -     not syncing: KASAN: panic_on_warn set ...
