"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-005137 advisory.

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

    ext4: avoid OOB when system.data xattr changes underneath the filesystem

    When looking up for an entry in an inlined directory, if e_value_offs is
    changed underneath the filesystem by some change in the block device, it
    will lead to an out-of-bounds access that KASAN detects as an UAF.

    EXT4-fs (loop0): mounted filesystem 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 r/w without journal. Quota mode:
    none.
    loop0: detected capacity change from 2048 to 2047

    Calling ext4_xattr_ibody_find right after reading the inode with
    ext4_get_inode_loc will lead to a check of the validity of the xattrs,
    avoiding this problem.
