"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-992718 advisory.

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

    xfrm: policy: fix metadata dst->dev xmit null pointer dereference

    When we try to transmit an skb with metadata_dst attached (i.e. dst->dev
    == NULL) through xfrm interface we can hit a null pointer dereference[1]
    in xfrmi_xmit2() -> xfrm_lookup_with_ifid() due to the check for a
    loopback skb device when there's no policy which dereferences dst->dev
    unconditionally. Not having dst->dev can be interepreted as it not being
    a loopback device, so just add a check for a null dst_orig->dev.

    With this fix xfrm interface's Tx error counters go up as usual.
