"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-013767 advisory.

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

    media: i2c: tc358743: Fix use-after-free bugs caused by orphan timer in probe

    The state->timer is a cyclic timer that schedules work_i2c_poll and
    delayed_work_enable_hotplug, while rearming itself. Using timer_delete()
    fails to guarantee the timer isn't still running when destroyed, similarly
    cancel_delayed_work() cannot ensure delayed_work_enable_hotplug has
    terminated if already executing. During probe failure after timer
    initialization, these may continue running as orphans and reference the
    already-freed tc358743_state object through tc358743_irq_poll_timer.

    The following is the trace captured by KASAN.

    Replace timer_delete() with timer_delete_sync() and cancel_delayed_work()
    with cancel_delayed_work_sync() to ensure proper termination of timer and
    work items before resource cleanup.

    This bug was initially identified through static analysis. For reproduction
    and testing, I created a functional emulation of the tc358743 device via a
    kernel module and introduced faults through the debugfs interface.
