"The version of hyperv-daemons installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore,
affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-26953 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: esp: fix bad handling of pages
    from page_pool When the skb is reorganized during esp_output (!esp->inline), the pages coming from the
    original skb fragments are supposed to be released back to the system through put_page. But if the skb
    fragment pages are originating from a page_pool, calling put_page on them will trigger a page_pool leak
    which will eventually result in a crash. This leak can be easily observed when using CONFIG_DEBUG_VM and
    doing ipsec + gre (non offloaded) forwarding: BUG: Bad page state in process ksoftirqd/16 pfn:1451b6
