"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-013000 advisory.

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

    netlink: annotate lockless accesses to nlk->max_recvmsg_len

    syzbot reported a data-race in data-race in netlink_recvmsg() [1]

    Indeed, netlink_recvmsg() can be run concurrently,
    and netlink_dump() also needs protection.
