"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-021640 advisory.

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

    ipv4: Fix uninit-value access in __ip_make_skb()

    KMSAN reported uninit-value access in __ip_make_skb() [1].  __ip_make_skb()
    tests HDRINCL to know if the skb has icmphdr. However, HDRINCL can cause a
    race condition. If calling setsockopt(2) with IP_HDRINCL changes HDRINCL
    while __ip_make_skb() is running, the function will access icmphdr in the
    skb even if it is not included. This causes the issue reported by KMSAN.

    Check FLOWI_FLAG_KNOWN_NH on fl4->flowi4_flags instead of testing HDRINCL
    on the socket.

    Also, fl4->fl4_icmp_type and fl4->fl4_icmp_code are not initialized. These
    are union in struct flowi4 and are implicitly initialized by
    flowi4_init_output(), but we should not rely on specific union layout.

    Initialize these explicitly in raw_sendmsg().
