"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-988764 advisory.

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

    ext4: fix bug in extents parsing when eh_entries == 0 and eh_depth > 0

    When walking through an inode extents, the ext4_ext_binsearch_idx() function
    assumes that the extent header has been previously validated.  However, there
    are no checks that verify that the number of entries (eh->eh_entries) is
    non-zero when depth is > 0.  And this will lead to problems because the
    EXT_FIRST_INDEX() and EXT_LAST_INDEX() will return garbage and result in this:

    This patch simply adds an extra check in __ext4_ext_check(), verifying that
    eh_entries is not 0 when eh_depth is > 0.
