"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-986491 advisory.

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

    Add exception protection processing for vd in axi_chan_handle_err function

    Since there is no protection for vd, a kernel panic will be
    triggered here in exceptional cases.

    You can refer to the processing of axi_chan_block_xfer_complete function

    The triggered kernel panic is as follows:
