"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-013327 advisory.

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

    net: do not allow gso_size to be set to GSO_BY_FRAGS

    One missing check in virtio_net_hdr_to_skb() allowed
    syzbot to crash kernels again [1]

    Do not allow gso_size to be set to GSO_BY_FRAGS (0xffff),
    because this magic value is used by the kernel.
