"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-005168 advisory.

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

    net: defer final 'struct net' free in netns dismantle

    Ilya reported a slab-use-after-free in dst_destroy [1]

    Issue is in xfrm6_net_init() and xfrm4_net_init() :

    They copy xfrm[46]_dst_ops_template into net->xfrm.xfrm[46]_dst_ops.

    But net structure might be freed before all the dst callbacks are
    called. So when dst_destroy() calls later :

    if (dst->ops->destroy)
        dst->ops->destroy(dst);

    dst->ops points to the old net->xfrm.xfrm[46]_dst_ops, which has been freed.

    See a relevant issue fixed in :

    ac888d58869b (net: do not delay dst_entries_add() in dst_release())

    A fix is to queue the 'struct net' to be freed after one
    another cleanup_net() round (and existing rcu_barrier())
