"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-013648 advisory.

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

    net: fix UAF issue in nfqnl_nf_hook_drop() when ops_init() failed

    When the ops_init() interface is invoked to initialize the net, but
    ops->init() fails, data is released. However, the ptr pointer in
    net->gen is invalid. In this case, when nfqnl_nf_hook_drop() is invoked
    to release the net, invalid address access occurs.

    The process is as follows:
    setup_net()
            ops_init()
                    data = kzalloc(...)   ---> alloc data
                    net_assign_generic()  ---> assign date to ptr in net->gen
                    ...
                    ops->init()           ---> failed
                    ...
                    kfree(data);          ---> ptr in net->gen is invalid
            ...
            ops_exit_list()
                    ...
                    nfqnl_nf_hook_drop()
                            *q = nfnl_queue_pernet(net) ---> q is invalid
