"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-987603 advisory.

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

    ASoC: SOF: Intel: Fix NULL ptr dereference when ENOMEM

    Do not call snd_dma_free_pages() when snd_dma_alloc_pages() returns
    -ENOMEM because it leads to a NULL pointer dereference bug.
