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/xe/vf: Add drm_dev guards when     detaching CCS read/write buffers CCS read/write buffers are freed during BO destruction. In some cases,     BOs may be destroyed after the device is unbound but while the DRM structure remains valid, leading to     NULL pointer dereferences when accessing device resources. BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address:
