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

  - A flaw was found in the clevis PKCS#11 pin. The clevis-pkcs11-afunix-socket-unlock daemon crashes when an
    AF_UNIX client connects to the data socket without a bound address, due to an integer underflow in the
    getpeername result handling. This causes a denial of service, preventing LUKS disk decryption from
    completing during boot. (CVE-2026-109976)
