"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-987686 advisory.

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

    wifi: brcmfmac: Check the count value of channel spec to prevent out-of-bounds reads

    This patch fixes slab-out-of-bounds reads in brcmfmac that occur in
    brcmf_construct_chaninfo() and brcmf_enable_bw40_2g() when the count
    value of channel specifications provided by the device is greater than
    the length of 'list->element[]', decided by the size of the 'list'
    allocated with kzalloc(). The patch adds checks that make the functions
    free the buffer and return -EINVAL if that is the case. Note that the
    negative return is handled by the caller, brcmf_setup_wiphybands() or
    brcmf_cfg80211_attach().

    Found by a modified version of syzkaller.
