"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-992877 advisory.

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

    ila: do not generate empty messages in ila_xlat_nl_cmd_get_mapping()

    ila_xlat_nl_cmd_get_mapping() generates an empty skb,
    triggerring a recent sanity check [1].

    Instead, return an error code, so that user space
    can get it.
