"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-007252 advisory.

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

    net: cdc_ncm: Deal with too low values of dwNtbOutMaxSize

    Currently in cdc_ncm_check_tx_max(), if dwNtbOutMaxSize is lower than
    the calculated min value, but greater than zero, the logic sets
    tx_max to dwNtbOutMaxSize. This is then used to allocate a new SKB in
    cdc_ncm_fill_tx_frame() where all the data is handled.

    For small values of dwNtbOutMaxSize the memory allocated during
    alloc_skb(dwNtbOutMaxSize, GFP_ATOMIC) will have the same size, due to
    how size is aligned at alloc time:
            size = SKB_DATA_ALIGN(size);
            size += SKB_DATA_ALIGN(sizeof(struct skb_shared_info));
    Thus we hit the same bug that we tried to squash with
    commit 2be6d4d16a084 (net: cdc_ncm: Allow for dwNtbOutMaxSize to be unset or zero)

    Low values of dwNtbOutMaxSize do not cause an issue presently because at
    alloc_skb() time more memory (512b) is allocated than required for the
    SKB headers alone (320b), leaving some space (512b - 320b = 192b)
    for CDC data (172b).

    However, if more elements (for example 3 x u64 = [24b]) were added to
    one of the SKB header structs, say 'struct skb_shared_info',
    increasing its original size (320b [320b aligned]) to something larger
    (344b [384b aligned]), then suddenly the CDC data (172b) no longer
    fits in the spare SKB data area (512b - 384b = 128b).

    Consequently the SKB bounds checking semantics fails and panics:

    skbuff: skb_over_panic: text:ffffffff831f755b len:184 put:172 head:ffff88811f1c6c00 data:ffff88811f1c6c00

    Deal with too low values of dwNtbOutMaxSize, clamp it in the range
    [USB_CDC_NCM_NTB_MIN_OUT_SIZE, CDC_NCM_NTB_MAX_SIZE_TX]. We ensure
    enough data space is allocated to handle CDC data by making sure
    dwNtbOutMaxSize is not smaller than USB_CDC_NCM_NTB_MIN_OUT_SIZE.
