"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-993028 advisory.

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

    net: tunnels: annotate lockless accesses to dev->needed_headroom

    IP tunnels can apparently update dev->needed_headroom
    in their xmit path.

    This patch takes care of three tunnels xmit, and also the
    core LL_RESERVED_SPACE() and LL_RESERVED_SPACE_EXTRA()
    helpers.

    More changes might be needed for completeness.
