"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-990303 advisory.

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

    udp: Set SOCK_RCU_FREE earlier in udp_lib_get_port().

    syzkaller triggered the warning [0] in udp_v4_early_demux().

    In udp_v[46]_early_demux() and sk_lookup(), we do not touch the refcount
    of the looked-up sk and use sock_pfree() as skb->destructor, so we check
    SOCK_RCU_FREE to ensure that the sk is safe to access during the RCU grace
    period.

    Currently, SOCK_RCU_FREE is flagged for a bound socket after being put
    into the hash table.  Moreover, the SOCK_RCU_FREE check is done too early
    in udp_v[46]_early_demux() and sk_lookup(), so there could be a small race
    window:

      CPU1                                 CPU2
      ----                                 ----
      udp_v4_early_demux()                 udp_lib_get_port()
      |                                    |- hlist_add_head_rcu()
      |- sk = __udp4_lib_demux_lookup()    |
      |- DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE(sk_is_refcounted(sk));
                                           `- sock_set_flag(sk, SOCK_RCU_FREE)

    We had the same bug in TCP and fixed it in commit 871019b22d1b (net:
    set SOCK_RCU_FREE before inserting socket into hashtable).

    Let's apply the same fix for UDP.
