"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-100143 advisory.

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

    net: atlantic: fix fragment overflow handling in RX path

    The atlantic driver can receive packets with more than MAX_SKB_FRAGS (17)
    fragments when handling large multi-descriptor packets. This causes an
    out-of-bounds write in skb_add_rx_frag_netmem() leading to kernel panic.

    The issue occurs because the driver doesn't check the total number of
    fragments before calling skb_add_rx_frag(). When a packet requires more
    than MAX_SKB_FRAGS fragments, the fragment index exceeds the array bounds.

    Fix by assuming there will be an extra frag if buff->len > AQ_CFG_RX_HDR_SIZE,
    then all fragments are accounted for. And reusing the existing check to
    prevent the overflow earlier in the code path.

    This crash occurred in production with an Aquantia AQC113 10G NIC.

    Changes in v4:
    - Add Fixes: tag to satisfy patch validation requirements.

    Changes in v3:
    - Fix by assuming there will be an extra frag if buff->len > AQ_CFG_RX_HDR_SIZE,
      then all fragments are accounted for.
