"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-007614 advisory.

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

    ext4: add i_data_sem protection in ext4_destroy_inline_data_nolock()

    Fix a race between inline data destruction and block mapping.

    The function ext4_destroy_inline_data_nolock() changes the inode data
    layout by clearing EXT4_INODE_INLINE_DATA and setting EXT4_INODE_EXTENTS.
    At the same time, another thread may execute ext4_map_blocks(), which
    tests EXT4_INODE_EXTENTS to decide whether to call ext4_ext_map_blocks()
    or ext4_ind_map_blocks().

    Without i_data_sem protection, ext4_ind_map_blocks() may receive inode
    with EXT4_INODE_EXTENTS flag and triggering assert.
