"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-992334 advisory.

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

    cifs: fix DFS traversal oops without CONFIG_CIFS_DFS_UPCALL

    When compiled with CONFIG_CIFS_DFS_UPCALL disabled, cifs_dfs_d_automount
    is NULL. cifs.ko logic for mapping CIFS_FATTR_DFS_REFERRAL attributes to
    S_AUTOMOUNT and corresponding dentry flags is retained regardless of
    CONFIG_CIFS_DFS_UPCALL, leading to a NULL pointer dereference in
    VFS follow_automount() when traversing a DFS referral link:
      BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
      ...
      Call Trace:
       <TASK>
       __traverse_mounts+0xb5/0x220
       ? cifs_revalidate_mapping+0x65/0xc0 [cifs]

       do_syscall_64+0x42/0x90
       entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x72/0xdc

    This fix adds an inline cifs_dfs_d_automount() {return -EREMOTE} handler
    when CONFIG_CIFS_DFS_UPCALL is disabled. An alternative would be to
    avoid flagging S_AUTOMOUNT, etc. without CONFIG_CIFS_DFS_UPCALL. This
    approach was chosen as it provides more control over the error path.
