"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-989756 advisory.

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

    zonefs: fix zonefs_iomap_begin() for reads

    If a readahead is issued to a sequential zone file with an offset
    exactly equal to the current file size, the iomap type is set to
    IOMAP_UNWRITTEN, which will prevent an IO, but the iomap length is
    calculated as 0. This causes a WARN_ON() in iomap_iter():

    Furthermore, this causes iomap_readahead() to loop forever as
    iomap_readahead_iter() always returns 0, making no progress.

    Fix this by treating reads after the file size as access to holes,
    setting the iomap type to IOMAP_HOLE, the iomap addr to IOMAP_NULL_ADDR
    and using the length argument as is for the iomap length. To simplify
    the code with this change, zonefs_iomap_begin() is split into the read
    variant, zonefs_read_iomap_begin() and zonefs_read_iomap_ops, and the
    write variant, zonefs_write_iomap_begin() and zonefs_write_iomap_ops.
