- `fedora = 32`
- `fedora = 33`
- `debian_linux = 9.0`
- `debian_linux = 10.0`
- `clustered_data_ontap`
- `hci_management_node`
- `solidfire`
- `hci_bootstrap_os`
- `hci_storage_node_firmware`
- `mac_os_x < 10.14.6`
- `mac_os_x >= 10.15, < 10.15.7`
- `mac_os_x = 10.14.6`
- `mac_os_x = 10.15.7`
- `macos >= 11.0, < 11.3`

- `universal_forwarder = 9.1.0`

## Remediation

Upgrade past the affected range:

- `libcurl 7.74.0`
- `mac_os_x 10.15.7`
- `macos 11.3`
- `sinec_infrastructure_network_services 1.0.1.1`
