"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-099711 advisory.

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

    net: macb: use the current queue number for stats

    There's a potential mismatch between the memory reserved for statistics
    and the amount of memory written.

    gem_get_sset_count() correctly computes the number of stats based on the
    active queues, whereas gem_get_ethtool_stats() indiscriminately copies
    data using the maximum number of queues, and in the case the number of
    active queues is less than MACB_MAX_QUEUES, this results in a OOB write
    as observed in the KASAN splat.

    Fix it by making sure the copied size only considers the active number of
    queues.
