"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-005457 advisory.

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

    nvmet-tcp: don't restore null sk_state_change

    queue->state_change is set as part of nvmet_tcp_set_queue_sock(), but if
    the TCP connection isn't established when nvmet_tcp_set_queue_sock() is
    called then queue->state_change isn't set and sock->sk->sk_state_change
    isn't replaced.

    As such we don't need to restore sock->sk->sk_state_change if
    queue->state_change is NULL.

    This avoids NULL pointer dereferences such as this:
