"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-007491 advisory.

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

    class: fix possible memory leak in __class_register()

    If class_add_groups() returns error, the 'cp->subsys' need be
    unregister, and the 'cp' need be freed.

    We can not call kset_unregister() here, because the 'cls' will
    be freed in callback function class_release() and it's also
    freed in caller's error path, it will cause double free.

    So fix this by calling kobject_del() and kfree_const(name) to
    cleanup kobject. Besides, call kfree() to free the 'cp'.

    Fault injection test can trigger this:
