"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-411373 advisory.

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

    vhost/scsi: null-ptr-dereference in vhost_scsi_get_req()

    Since commit 3f8ca2e115e5 (vhost/scsi: Extract common handling code
    from control queue handler) a null pointer dereference bug can be
    triggered when guest sends an SCSI AN request.

    In vhost_scsi_ctl_handle_vq(), `vc.target` is assigned with
    `&v_req.tmf.lun[1]` within a switch-case block and is then passed to
    vhost_scsi_get_req() which extracts `vc->req` and `tpg`. However, for
    a `VIRTIO_SCSI_T_AN_*` request, tpg is not required, so `vc.target` is
    set to NULL in this branch. Later, in vhost_scsi_get_req(),
    `vc->target` is dereferenced without being checked, leading to a null
    pointer dereference bug. This bug can be triggered from guest.

    When this bug occurs, the vhost_worker process is killed while holding
    `vq->mutex` and the corresponding tpg will remain occupied
    indefinitely.
