"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-099931 advisory.

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

    apparmor: fix invalid deref of rawdata when export_binary is unset

    If the export_binary parameter is disabled on runtime, profiles that
    were loaded before that will still have their rawdata stored in
    apparmorfs, with a symbolic link to the rawdata on the policy
    directory. When one of those profiles are replaced, the rawdata is set
    to NULL, but when trying to resolve the symbolic links to rawdata for
    that profile, it will try to dereference profile->rawdata->name when
    profile->rawdata is now NULL causing an oops. Fix it by checking if
    rawdata is set.
