  script_set_attribute(attribute:"description", value:
"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-011255 advisory.

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

    skbuff: Fix a race between coalescing and releasing SKBs

    Commit 1effe8ca4e34 (skbuff: fix coalescing for page_pool fragment
    recycling) allowed coalescing to proceed with non page pool page and page
    pool page when @from is cloned, i.e.

    to->pp_recycle    --> false
    from->pp_recycle  --> true
    skb_cloned(from)  --> true

    However, it actually requires skb_cloned(@from) to hold true until
    coalescing finishes in this situation. If the other cloned SKB is
    released while the merging is in process, from_shinfo->nr_frags will be
    set to 0 toward the end of the function, causing the increment of frag
    page _refcount to be unexpectedly skipped resulting in inconsistent
    reference counts. Later when SKB(@to) is released, it frees the page
    directly even though the page pool page is still in use, leading to
    use-after-free or double-free errors. So it should be prohibited.

    The double-free error message below prompted us to investigate:
    BUG: Bad page state in process swapper/1  pfn:0e0d1
