"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-005696 advisory.

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

    drm: bridge: adv7511: unregister cec i2c device after cec adapter

    cec_unregister_adapter() assumes that the underlying adapter ops are
    callable. For example, if the CEC adapter currently has a valid physical
    address, then the unregistration procedure will invalidate the physical
    address by setting it to f.f.f.f. Whence the following kernel oops
    observed after removing the adv7511 module:

        Unable to handle kernel execution of user memory at virtual address 0000000000000000
        Internal error: Oops: 86000004 [#1] PREEMPT_RT SMP

    Protect against this scenario by unregistering i2c_cec after
    unregistering the CEC adapter. Duly disable the CEC clock afterwards
    too.
