"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-990091 advisory.

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

    ALSA: emu10k1: Fix out of bounds access in snd_emu10k1_pcm_channel_alloc()

    The voice allocator sometimes begins allocating from near the end of the
    array and then wraps around, however snd_emu10k1_pcm_channel_alloc()
    accesses the newly allocated voices as if it never wrapped around.

    This results in out of bounds access if the first voice has a high enough
    index so that first_voice + requested_voice_count > NUM_G (64).
    The more voices are requested, the more likely it is for this to occur.

    This was initially discovered using PipeWire, however it can be reproduced
    by calling aplay multiple times with 16 channels:
    aplay -r 48000 -D plughw:CARD=Live,DEV=3 -c 16 /dev/zero

    UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in sound/pci/emu10k1/emupcm.c:127:40
    index 65 is out of range for type 'snd_emu10k1_voice [64]'
