"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-992489 advisory.

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

    wifi: brcmfmac: slab-out-of-bounds read in brcmf_get_assoc_ies()

    Fix a slab-out-of-bounds read that occurs in kmemdup() called from
    brcmf_get_assoc_ies().
    The bug could occur when assoc_info->req_len, data from a URB provided
    by a USB device, is bigger than the size of buffer which is defined as
    WL_EXTRA_BUF_MAX.

    Add the size check for req_len/resp_len of assoc_info.

    Found by a modified version of syzkaller.
