"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-021615 advisory.

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

    net: stmmac: TSO: Fix unbalanced DMA map/unmap for non-paged SKB data

    In case the non-paged data of a SKB carries protocol header and protocol
    payload to be transmitted on a certain platform that the DMA AXI address
    width is configured to 40-bit/48-bit, or the size of the non-paged data
    is bigger than TSO_MAX_BUFF_SIZE on a certain platform that the DMA AXI
    address width is configured to 32-bit, then this SKB requires at least
    two DMA transmit descriptors to serve it.

    For example, three descriptors are allocated to split one DMA buffer
    mapped from one piece of non-paged data:
        dma_desc[N + 0],
        dma_desc[N + 1],
        dma_desc[N + 2].
    Then three elements of tx_q->tx_skbuff_dma[] will be allocated to hold
    extra information to be reused in stmmac_tx_clean():
        tx_q->tx_skbuff_dma[N + 0],
        tx_q->tx_skbuff_dma[N + 1],
        tx_q->tx_skbuff_dma[N + 2].
    Now we focus on tx_q->tx_skbuff_dma[entry].buf, which is the DMA buffer
    address returned by DMA mapping call. stmmac_tx_clean() will try to
    unmap the DMA buffer _ONLY_IF_ tx_q->tx_skbuff_dma[entry].buf
    is a valid buffer address.

    The expected behavior that saves DMA buffer address of this non-paged
    data to tx_q->tx_skbuff_dma[entry].buf is:
        tx_q->tx_skbuff_dma[N + 0].buf = NULL;
        tx_q->tx_skbuff_dma[N + 1].buf = NULL;
        tx_q->tx_skbuff_dma[N + 2].buf = dma_map_single();
    Unfortunately, the current code misbehaves like this:
        tx_q->tx_skbuff_dma[N + 0].buf = dma_map_single();
        tx_q->tx_skbuff_dma[N + 1].buf = NULL;
        tx_q->tx_skbuff_dma[N + 2].buf = NULL;

    On the stmmac_tx_clean() side, when dma_desc[N + 0] is closed by the
    DMA engine, tx_q->tx_skbuff_dma[N + 0].buf is a valid buffer address
    obviously, then the DMA buffer will be unmapped immediately.
    There may be a rare case that the DMA engine does not finish the
    pending dma_desc[N + 1], dma_desc[N + 2] yet. Now things will go
    horribly wrong, DMA is going to access a unmapped/unreferenced memory
    region, corrupted data will be transmited or iommu fault will be
    triggered :(

    In contrast, the for-loop that maps SKB fragments behaves perfectly
    as expected, and that is how the driver should do for both non-paged
    data and paged frags actually.

    This patch corrects DMA map/unmap sequences by fixing the array index
    for tx_q->tx_skbuff_dma[entry].buf when assigning DMA buffer address.

    Tested and verified on DWXGMAC CORE 3.20a
