"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-992377 advisory.

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

    arm64: cacheinfo: Fix incorrect assignment of signed error value to unsigned fw_level

    Though acpi_find_last_cache_level() always returned signed value and the
    document states it will return any errors caused by lack of a PPTT table,
    it never returned negative values before.

    Commit 0c80f9e165f8 (ACPI: PPTT: Leave the table mapped for the runtime usage)
    however changed it by returning -ENOENT if no PPTT was found. The value
    returned from acpi_find_last_cache_level() is then assigned to unsigned
    fw_level.

    It will result in the number of cache leaves calculated incorrectly as
    a huge value which will then cause the following warning from __alloc_pages
    as the order would be great than MAX_ORDER because of incorrect and huge
    cache leaves value.

    Fix the same by changing fw_level to be signed integer and return the
    error from init_cache_level() early in case of error.
