"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-989117 advisory.

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

    xen/netback: avoid entering xenvif_rx_next_skb() with an empty rx queue

    xenvif_rx_next_skb() is expecting the rx queue not being empty, but
    in case the loop in xenvif_rx_action() is doing multiple iterations,
    the availability of another skb in the rx queue is not being checked.

    This can lead to crashes:

    Fix that by stopping the loop in case the rx queue becomes empty.
