"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-013847 advisory.

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

    tcp: Don't call reqsk_fastopen_remove() in tcp_conn_request().

    syzbot reported the splat below in tcp_conn_request(). [0]

    If a listener is close()d while a TFO socket is being processed in
    tcp_conn_request(), inet_csk_reqsk_queue_add() does not set reqsk->sk
    and calls inet_child_forget(), which calls tcp_disconnect() for the
    TFO socket.

    After the cited commit, tcp_disconnect() calls reqsk_fastopen_remove(),
    where reqsk_put() is called due to !reqsk->sk.

    Then, reqsk_fastopen_remove() in tcp_conn_request() decrements the
    last req->rsk_refcnt and frees reqsk, and __reqsk_free() at the
    drop_and_free label causes the refcount underflow for the listener
    and double-free of the reqsk.

    Let's remove reqsk_fastopen_remove() in tcp_conn_request().

    Note that other callers make sure tp->fastopen_rsk is not NULL.

    [0]:
    refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.
