"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-993208 advisory.

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

    llc: do not use skb_get() before dev_queue_xmit()

    syzbot is able to crash hosts [1], using llc and devices
    not supporting IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING.

    In this case, e1000 driver calls eth_skb_pad(), while
    the skb is shared.

    Simply replace skb_get() by skb_clone() in net/llc/llc_s_ac.c

    Note that e1000 driver might have an issue with pktgen,
    because it does not clear IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING, this is an
    orthogonal change.

    We need to audit other skb_get() uses in net/llc.
