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

  - In OpenStack Neutron before 28.0.1, a project manager can create or update a port on a shared network
    owned by another project and set device_owner to a value that has network: at the beginning
    (network:dhcp for example). The default port RBAC policies incorrectly included PROJECT_MANAGER without
    requiring network ownership, allowing any project manager to obtain trusted network-service port behavior
    on shared networks. Depending on backend and deployment, this can bypass anti-spoofing and security group
    protections, enabling DHCP, MAC, or IP spoofing against other tenants on the shared network. This is a
    regression of CVE-2015-5240 (OSSA-2015-018). (CVE-2026-50266)
