"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-005646 advisory.

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

    af_unix: Fix data-races around user->unix_inflight.

    user->unix_inflight is changed under spin_lock(unix_gc_lock),
    but too_many_unix_fds() reads it locklessly.

    Let's annotate the write/read accesses to user->unix_inflight.
