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

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/i915: Fix crash in auto_retire The     retire logic uses the 2 lower bits of the pointer to the retire function to store flags. However, the     auto_retire function is not guaranteed to be aligned to a multiple of 4, which causes crashes as we jump     to the wrong address, for example like this: 2021-04-24T18:03:53.804300Z WARNING kernel: [ 516.876901]     invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI 2021-04-24T18:03:53.804310Z WARNING kernel: [ 516.876906] CPU:
