"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-013550 advisory.

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

    mrp: introduce active flags to prevent UAF when applicant uninit

    The caller of del_timer_sync must prevent restarting of the timer, If
    we have no this synchronization, there is a small probability that the
    cancellation will not be successful.

    And syzbot report the fellowing crash:

    To fix it, we can introduce a new active flags to make sure the timer will
    not restart.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.
