"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-989256 advisory.

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

    bfq: Avoid merging queues with different parents

    It can happen that the parent of a bfqq changes between the moment we
    decide two queues are worth to merge (and set bic->stable_merge_bfqq)
    and the moment bfq_setup_merge() is called. This can happen e.g. because
    the process submitted IO for a different cgroup and thus bfqq got
    reparented. It can even happen that the bfqq we are merging with has
    parent cgroup that is already offline and going to be destroyed in which
    case the merge can lead to use-after-free issues such as:

    BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in __bfq_deactivate_entity+0x9cb/0xa50

    Fix the problem by checking that the parent of the two bfqqs we are
    merging in bfq_setup_merge() is the same.
