"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-987197 advisory.

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

    isdn: cpai: check ctr->cnr to avoid array index out of bound

    The cmtp_add_connection() would add a cmtp session to a controller
    and run a kernel thread to process cmtp.

            __module_get(THIS_MODULE);
            session->task = kthread_run(cmtp_session, session, kcmtpd_ctr_%d,
                                                                    session->num);

    During this process, the kernel thread would call detach_capi_ctr()
    to detach a register controller. if the controller
    was not attached yet, detach_capi_ctr() would
    trigger an array-index-out-bounds bug.
