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

  - Live-migrated instances are briefly able to inspect traffic for other instances on the same hypervisor.
    This brief window could be extended indefinitely if the instance's port is set administratively down prior
    to live-migration and kept down after the migration is complete. This is possible due to the Open vSwitch
    integration bridge being connected to the instance during migration. When connected to the integration
    bridge, all traffic for instances using the same Open vSwitch instance would potentially be visible to the
    migrated guest, as the required Open vSwitch VLAN filters are only applied post-migration. Versions of
    openstack-neutron before 13.0.0.0b2, 12.0.3, 11.0.5 are vulnerable. (CVE-2018-14636)
