"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-989730 advisory.

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

    netfilter: xt_IDLETIMER: fix panic that occurs when timer_type has garbage value

    Currently, when the rule related to IDLETIMER is added, idletimer_tg timer
    structure is initialized by kmalloc on executing idletimer_tg_create
    function. However, in this process timer->timer_type is not defined to
    a specific value. Thus, timer->timer_type has garbage value and it occurs
    kernel panic. So, this commit fixes the panic by initializing
    timer->timer_type using kzalloc instead of kmalloc.

    Test commands:
        # iptables -A OUTPUT -j IDLETIMER --timeout 1 --label test
        $ cat /sys/class/xt_idletimer/timers/test
          Killed

    Splat looks like:
