"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-993139 advisory.

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

    tracing: kprobe: Fix potential null-ptr-deref on trace_array in kprobe_event_gen_test_exit()

    When test_gen_kprobe_cmd() failed after kprobe_event_gen_cmd_end(), it
    will goto delete, which will call kprobe_event_delete() and release the
    corresponding resource. However, the trace_array in gen_kretprobe_test
    will point to the invalid resource. Set gen_kretprobe_test to NULL
    after called kprobe_event_delete() to prevent null-ptr-deref.
