"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-990761 advisory.

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

    tracing: kprobe: Fix potential null-ptr-deref on trace_event_file in kprobe_event_gen_test_exit()

    When trace_get_event_file() failed, gen_kretprobe_test will be assigned
    as the error code. If module kprobe_event_gen_test is removed now, the
    null pointer dereference will happen in kprobe_event_gen_test_exit().
    Check if gen_kprobe_test or gen_kretprobe_test is error code or NULL
    before dereference them.
