"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-013784 advisory.

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

    fs: udf: fix OOB read in lengthAllocDescs handling

    When parsing Allocation Extent Descriptor, lengthAllocDescs comes from
    on-disk data and must be validated against the block size. Crafted or
    corrupted images may set lengthAllocDescs so that the total descriptor
    length (sizeof(allocExtDesc) + lengthAllocDescs) exceeds the buffer,
    leading udf_update_tag() to call crc_itu_t() on out-of-bounds memory and
    trigger a KASAN use-after-free read.

    BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in crc_itu_t+0x1d5/0x2b0 lib/crc-itu-t.c:60
