"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-011237 advisory.

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

    rcu: Protect rcu_print_task_exp_stall() ->exp_tasks access

    For kernels built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=y, the following scenario can
    result in a NULL-pointer dereference:

               CPU1                                           CPU2
    rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_irqrestore                rcu_print_task_exp_stall
      if (special.b.blocked)                            READ_ONCE(rnp->exp_tasks) != NULL
        raw_spin_lock_rcu_node
        np = rcu_next_node_entry(t, rnp)
        if (&t->rcu_node_entry == rnp->exp_tasks)
          WRITE_ONCE(rnp->exp_tasks, np)
          ....
          raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore_rcu_node
                                                        raw_spin_lock_irqsave_rcu_node
                                                        t = list_entry(rnp->exp_tasks->prev,
                                                            struct task_struct, rcu_node_entry)
                                                        (if rnp->exp_tasks is NULL, this
                                                           will dereference a NULL pointer)

    The problem is that CPU2 accesses the rcu_node structure's->exp_tasks
    field without holding the rcu_node structure's ->lock and CPU2 did
    not observe CPU1's change to rcu_node structure's ->exp_tasks in time.
    Therefore, if CPU1 sets rcu_node structure's->exp_tasks pointer to NULL,
    then CPU2 might dereference that NULL pointer.

    This commit therefore holds the rcu_node structure's ->lock while
    accessing that structure's->exp_tasks field.
