"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-986935 advisory.

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

    tty: serial: qcom-geni-serial: fix slab-out-of-bounds on RX FIFO buffer

    Driver's probe allocates memory for RX FIFO (port->rx_fifo) based on
    default RX FIFO depth, e.g. 16.  Later during serial startup the
    qcom_geni_serial_port_setup() updates the RX FIFO depth
    (port->rx_fifo_depth) to match real device capabilities, e.g. to 32.

    The RX UART handle code will read port->rx_fifo_depth number of words
    into port->rx_fifo buffer, thus exceeding the bounds.  This can be
    observed in certain configurations with Qualcomm Bluetooth HCI UART
    device and KASAN:

      Bluetooth: hci0: QCA Product ID   :0x00000010
      Bluetooth: hci0: QCA SOC Version  :0x400a0200
