"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-989355 advisory.

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

    net/sched: act_mpls: Fix warning during failed attribute validation

    The 'TCA_MPLS_LABEL' attribute is of 'NLA_U32' type, but has a
    validation type of 'NLA_VALIDATE_FUNCTION'. This is an invalid
    combination according to the comment above 'struct nla_policy':

    
    Meaning of `validate' field, use via NLA_POLICY_VALIDATE_FN:
       NLA_BINARY           Validation function called for the attribute.
       All other            Unused - but note that it's a union
    

    This can trigger the warning [1] in nla_get_range_unsigned() when
    validation of the attribute fails. Despite being of 'NLA_U32' type, the
    associated 'min'/'max' fields in the policy are negative as they are
    aliased by the 'validate' field.

    Fix by changing the attribute type to 'NLA_BINARY' which is consistent
    with the above comment and all other users of NLA_POLICY_VALIDATE_FN().
    As a result, move the length validation to the validation function.

    No regressions in MPLS tests:
