"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 through 4.15.4, the floppy driver reveals the addresses of kernel functions and global
    variables using printk calls within the function show_floppy in drivers/block/floppy.c. An attacker can
    read this information from dmesg and use the addresses to find the locations of kernel code and data and
    bypass kernel security protections such as KASLR. (CVE-2018-7273)
