There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

  - A flaw was found in Linux, in targetcli-fb versions 2.1.50 and 2.1.51 where the socket used by targetclid
    was world-writable. If a system enables the targetclid socket, a local attacker can use this flaw to
    modify the iSCSI configuration and escalate their privileges to root. (CVE-2020-10699)

  - Open-iSCSI targetcli-fb through 2.1.52 has weak permissions for /etc/target (and for the backup directory
    and backup files). (CVE-2020-13867)
