"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-013338 advisory.

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

    af_unix: Fix data-race around unix_tot_inflight.

    unix_tot_inflight is changed under spin_lock(unix_gc_lock), but
    unix_release_sock() reads it locklessly.

    Let's use READ_ONCE() for unix_tot_inflight.

    Note that the writer side was marked by commit 9d6d7f1cb67c (af_unix:
    annote lockless accesses to unix_tot_inflight & gc_in_progress)
