"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-987045 advisory.

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

    Bluetooth: hci_qca: Fix driver shutdown on closed serdev

    The driver shutdown callback (which sends EDL_SOC_RESET to the device
    over serdev) should not be invoked when HCI device is not open (e.g. if
    hci_dev_open_sync() failed), because the serdev and its TTY are not open
    either.  Also skip this step if device is powered off
    (qca_power_shutdown()).

    The shutdown callback causes use-after-free during system reboot with
    Qualcomm Atheros Bluetooth:
