"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-006982 advisory.

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

    wifi: mt7601u: fix an integer underflow

    Fix an integer underflow that leads to a null pointer dereference in
    'mt7601u_rx_skb_from_seg()'. The variable 'dma_len' in the URB packet
    could be manipulated, which could trigger an integer underflow of
    'seg_len' in 'mt7601u_rx_process_seg()'. This underflow subsequently
    causes the 'bad_frame' checks in 'mt7601u_rx_skb_from_seg()' to be
    bypassed, eventually leading to a dereference of the pointer 'p', which
    is a null pointer.

    Ensure that 'dma_len' is greater than 'min_seg_len'.

    Found by a modified version of syzkaller.
