"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-993280 advisory.

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

    i2c: piix4: Fix adapter not be removed in piix4_remove()

    In piix4_probe(), the piix4 adapter will be registered in:

       piix4_probe()
         piix4_add_adapters_sb800() / piix4_add_adapter()
           i2c_add_adapter()

    Based on the probed device type, piix4_add_adapters_sb800() or single
    piix4_add_adapter() will be called.
    For the former case, piix4_adapter_count is set as the number of adapters,
    while for antoher case it is not set and kept default *zero*.

    When piix4 is removed, piix4_remove() removes the adapters added in
    piix4_probe(), basing on the piix4_adapter_count value.
    Because the count is zero for the single adapter case, the adapter won't
    be removed and makes the sources allocated for adapter leaked, such as
    the i2c client and device.

    These sources can still be accessed by i2c or bus and cause problems.
    An easily reproduced case is that if a new adapter is registered, i2c
    will get the leaked adapter and try to call smbus_algorithm, which was
    already freed:

    Triggered by: rmmod i2c_piix4 && modprobe max31730

    Fix this problem by correctly set piix4_adapter_count as 1 for the
    single adapter so it can be normally removed.
