"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-386682 advisory.

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    ipv6: prevent UAF in ip6_send_skb()

    syzbot reported an UAF in ip6_send_skb() [1]

    After ip6_local_out() has returned, we no longer can safely
    dereference rt, unless we hold rcu_read_lock().

    A similar issue has been fixed in commit
    a688caa34beb (ipv6: take rcu lock in rawv6_send_hdrinc())

    Another potential issue in ip6_finish_output2() is handled in a
    separate patch.
