"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-010679 advisory.

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

    arm64: extable: fix load_unaligned_zeropad() reg indices

    In ex_handler_load_unaligned_zeropad() we erroneously extract the data and
    addr register indices from ex->type rather than ex->data. As ex->type will
    contain EX_TYPE_LOAD_UNALIGNED_ZEROPAD (i.e. 4):
     * We'll always treat X0 as the address register, since EX_DATA_REG_ADDR is
       extracted from bits [9:5]. Thus, we may attempt to dereference an
       arbitrary address as X0 may hold an arbitrary value.
     * We'll always treat X4 as the data register, since EX_DATA_REG_DATA is
       extracted from bits [4:0]. Thus we will corrupt X4 and cause arbitrary
       behaviour within load_unaligned_zeropad() and its caller.

    Fix this by extracting both values from ex->data as originally intended.

    On an MTE-enabled QEMU image we are hitting the following crash:
     Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000000
