"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-993031 advisory.

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

    btrfs: unset reloc control if transaction commit fails in prepare_to_relocate()

    In btrfs_relocate_block_group(), the rc is allocated.  Then
    btrfs_relocate_block_group() calls

    relocate_block_group()
      prepare_to_relocate()
        set_reloc_control()

    that assigns rc to the variable fs_info->reloc_ctl. When
    prepare_to_relocate() returns, it calls

    btrfs_commit_transaction()
      btrfs_start_dirty_block_groups()
        btrfs_alloc_path()
          kmem_cache_zalloc()

    which may fail for example (or other errors could happen). When the
    failure occurs, btrfs_relocate_block_group() detects the error and frees
    rc and doesn't set fs_info->reloc_ctl to NULL. After that, in
    btrfs_init_reloc_root(), rc is retrieved from fs_info->reloc_ctl and
    then used, which may cause a use-after-free bug.

    This possible bug can be triggered by calling btrfs_ioctl_balance()
    before calling btrfs_ioctl_defrag().

    To fix this possible bug, in prepare_to_relocate(), check if
    btrfs_commit_transaction() fails. If the failure occurs,
    unset_reloc_control() is called to set fs_info->reloc_ctl to NULL.

    The error log in our fault-injection testing is shown as follows:
