"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-990744 advisory.

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

    scsi: core: Remove the /proc/scsi/${proc_name} directory earlier

    Remove the /proc/scsi/${proc_name} directory earlier to fix a race
    condition between unloading and reloading kernel modules. This fixes a bug
    introduced in 2009 by commit 77c019768f06 ([SCSI] fix /proc memory leak in
    the SCSI core).

    Fix the following kernel warning:
