"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-987329 advisory.

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

    scsi: core: Fix bad pointer dereference when ehandler kthread is invalid

    Commit 66a834d09293 (scsi: core: Fix error handling of scsi_host_alloc())
    changed the allocation logic to call put_device() to perform host cleanup
    with the assumption that IDA removal and stopping the kthread would
    properly be performed in scsi_host_dev_release(). However, in the unlikely
    case that the error handler thread fails to spawn, shost->ehandler is set
    to ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM).

    The error handler cleanup code in scsi_host_dev_release() will call
    kthread_stop() if shost->ehandler != NULL which will always be the case
    whether the kthread was successfully spawned or not. In the case that it
    failed to spawn this has the nasty side effect of trying to dereference an
    invalid pointer when kthread_stop() is called. The following splat provides
    an example of this behavior in the wild:

    scsi host11: error handler thread failed to spawn, error = -4
    Kernel attempted to read user page (10c) - exploit attempt? (uid: 0)

    Fix this be nulling shost->ehandler when the kthread fails to spawn.
