"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-005771 advisory.

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

    netfilter: nf_tables: do not ignore genmask when looking up chain by id

    When adding a rule to a chain referring to its ID, if that chain had been
    deleted on the same batch, the rule might end up referring to a deleted
    chain.

    This will lead to a WARNING like following:

    This is due to the nft_chain_lookup_byid ignoring the genmask. After this
    change, adding the new rule will fail as it will not find the chain.
