"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-986415 advisory.

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

    NFC: NULL out the dev->rfkill to prevent UAF

    Commit 3e3b5dfcd16a (NFC: reorder the logic in nfc_{un,}register_device)
    assumes the device_is_registered() in function nfc_dev_up() will help
    to check when the rfkill is unregistered. However, this check only
    take effect when device_del(&dev->dev) is done in nfc_unregister_device().
    Hence, the rfkill object is still possible be dereferenced.

    The crash trace in latest kernel (5.18-rc2):
