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

  - Line directives (//line) can be used to bypass the restrictions on //go:cgo_ directives, allowing
    blocked linker and compiler flags to be passed during compilation. This can result in unexpected execution
    of arbitrary code when running go build. The line directive requires the absolute path of the file in
    which the directive lives, which makes exploiting this issue significantly more complex. (CVE-2023-39323)
