"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-989059 advisory.

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

    nvmem: Fix shift-out-of-bound (UBSAN) with byte size cells

    If a cell has 'nbits' equal to a multiple of BITS_PER_BYTE the logic

     *p &= GENMASK((cell->nbits%BITS_PER_BYTE) - 1, 0);

    will become undefined behavior because nbits modulo BITS_PER_BYTE is 0, and we
    subtract one from that making a large number that is then shifted more than the
    number of bits that fit into an unsigned long.

    UBSAN reports this problem:

     UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in drivers/nvmem/core.c:1386:8
     shift exponent 64 is too large for 64-bit type 'unsigned long'

    Fix it by making sure there are any bits to mask out.
