"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-986645 advisory.

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

    drm/msm/a6xx: Allocate enough space for GMU registers

    In commit 142639a52a01 (drm/msm/a6xx: fix crashstate capture for
    A650) we changed a6xx_get_gmu_registers() to read 3 sets of
    registers. Unfortunately, we didn't change the memory allocation for
    the array. That leads to a KASAN warning (this was on the chromeos-5.4
    kernel, which has the problematic commit backported to it):
