"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-986942 advisory.

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

    usb: xhci: Check endpoint is valid before dereferencing it

    When the host controller is not responding, all URBs queued to all
    endpoints need to be killed. This can cause a kernel panic if we
    dereference an invalid endpoint.

    Fix this by using xhci_get_virt_ep() helper to find the endpoint and
    checking if the endpoint is valid before dereferencing it.
