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

  - net/mlx5e: Use correct encap attribute during invalidation With introduction of post action infrastructure     most of the users of encap attribute had been modified in order to obtain the correct attribute by calling     mlx5e_tc_get_encap_attr() helper instead of assuming encap action is always on default attribute. However,     the cited commit didn't modify mlx5e_invalidate_encap() which prevents it from destroying correct modify     header action which leads to a warning [0]. Fix the issue by using correct attribute.
