"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-992834 advisory.

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

    ftrace: Fix NULL pointer dereference in is_ftrace_trampoline when ftrace is dead

    ftrace_startup does not remove ops from ftrace_ops_list when
    ftrace_startup_enable fails:

    register_ftrace_function
      ftrace_startup
        __register_ftrace_function
          ...
          add_ftrace_ops(&ftrace_ops_list, ops)
          ...
        ...
        ftrace_startup_enable // if ftrace failed to modify, ftrace_disabled is set to 1
        ...
      return 0 // ops is in the ftrace_ops_list.

    When ftrace_disabled = 1, unregister_ftrace_function simply returns without doing anything:
    unregister_ftrace_function
      ftrace_shutdown
        if (unlikely(ftrace_disabled))
                return -ENODEV;  // return here, __unregister_ftrace_function is not executed,
                                 // as a result, ops is still in the ftrace_ops_list
        __unregister_ftrace_function
        ...

    If ops is dynamically allocated, it will be free later, in this case,
    is_ftrace_trampoline accesses NULL pointer:

    is_ftrace_trampoline
      ftrace_ops_trampoline
        do_for_each_ftrace_op(op, ftrace_ops_list) // OOPS! op may be NULL!

    Therefore, when ftrace_startup_enable fails, we need to rollback registration
    process and remove ops from ftrace_ops_list.
