"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-004950 advisory.

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

    pptp: ensure minimal skb length in pptp_xmit()

    Commit aabc6596ffb3 (net: ppp: Add bound checking for skb data
    on ppp_sync_txmung) fixed ppp_sync_txmunge()

    We need a similar fix in pptp_xmit(), otherwise we might
    read uninit data as reported by syzbot.
