"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-007431 advisory.

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

    xen/events: close evtchn after mapping cleanup

    shutdown_pirq and startup_pirq are not taking the
    irq_mapping_update_lock because they can't due to lock inversion. Both
    are called with the irq_desc->lock being taking. The lock order,
    however, is first irq_mapping_update_lock and then irq_desc->lock.

    This opens multiple races:
    - shutdown_pirq can be interrupted by a function that allocates an event
      channel:

      CPU0                        CPU1
      shutdown_pirq {
        xen_evtchn_close(e)
                                  __startup_pirq {
                                    EVTCHNOP_bind_pirq
                                      -> returns just freed evtchn e
                                    set_evtchn_to_irq(e, irq)
                                  }
        xen_irq_info_cleanup() {
          set_evtchn_to_irq(e, -1)
        }
      }

      Assume here event channel e refers here to the same event channel
      number.
      After this race the evtchn_to_irq mapping for e is invalid (-1).

    - __startup_pirq races with __unbind_from_irq in a similar way. Because
      __startup_pirq doesn't take irq_mapping_update_lock it can grab the
      evtchn that __unbind_from_irq is currently freeing and cleaning up. In
      this case even though the event channel is allocated, its mapping can
      be unset in evtchn_to_irq.

    The fix is to first cleanup the mappings and then close the event
    channel. In this way, when an event channel gets allocated it's
    potential previous evtchn_to_irq mappings are guaranteed to be unset already.
    This is also the reverse order of the allocation where first the event
    channel is allocated and then the mappings are setup.

    On a 5.10 kernel prior to commit 3fcdaf3d7634 (xen/events: modify internal
    [un]bind interfaces), we hit a BUG like the following during probing of NVMe
    devices. The issue is that during nvme_setup_io_queues, pci_free_irq
    is called for every device which results in a call to shutdown_pirq.
    With many nvme devices it's therefore likely to hit this race during
    boot because there will be multiple calls to shutdown_pirq and
    startup_pirq are running potentially in parallel.
