"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-013240 advisory.

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

    udplite: Fix NULL pointer dereference in __sk_mem_raise_allocated().

    syzbot reported [0] a null-ptr-deref in sk_get_rmem0() while using
    IPPROTO_UDPLITE (0x88):

      14:25:52 executing program 1:
      r0 = socket$inet6(0xa, 0x80002, 0x88)

    We had a similar report [1] for probably sk_memory_allocated_add()
    in __sk_mem_raise_allocated(), and commit c915fe13cbaa (udplite: fix
    NULL pointer dereference) fixed it by setting .memory_allocated for
    udplite_prot and udplitev6_prot.

    To fix the variant, we need to set either .sysctl_wmem_offset or
    .sysctl_rmem.

    Now UDP and UDPLITE share the same value for .memory_allocated, so we
    use the same .sysctl_wmem_offset for UDP and UDPLITE.
