"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-101968 advisory.

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

    net: af_key: initialize alg_key_len for IPComp states

    pfkey_msg2xfrm_state() handles the IPComp (SADB_X_SATYPE_IPCOMP) case by
    allocating x->calg and copying only the algorithm name:

            x->calg = kmalloc_obj(*x->calg);
            if (!x->calg) {
                    err = -ENOMEM;
                    goto out;
            }
            strcpy(x->calg->alg_name, a->name);
            x->props.calgo = sa->sadb_sa_encrypt;

    Unlike the authentication (x->aalg) and encryption (x->ealg) branches of
    the same function, the compression branch never initializes
    calg->alg_key_len.  IPComp carries no key and the allocation only
    reserves sizeof(struct xfrm_algo) (i.e. no room for a key), so the field
    is left containing uninitialized slab data.

    calg->alg_key_len is later used as a length by xfrm_algo_clone() when an
    IPComp state is cloned during XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE:

            xfrm_state_migrate()
              xfrm_state_clone_and_setup()
                x->calg = xfrm_algo_clone(orig->calg);
                  kmemdup(orig, xfrm_alg_len(orig));

    where xfrm_alg_len() returns sizeof(*alg) + (alg_key_len + 7) / 8.  With
    a non-zero garbage alg_key_len, kmemdup() reads past the end of the
    68-byte calg object.  Adding an IPComp SA via PF_KEY and then migrating
    it triggers (net-next, KASAN, init_on_alloc=0):

      The buggy address belongs to the object at ff11000025a74980
       which belongs to the cache kmalloc-96 of size 96
      The buggy address is located 0 bytes inside of
       allocated 68-byte region [ff11000025a74980, ff11000025a749c4)

    Depending on the uninitialized value the same field can instead request
    an oversized kmemdup() allocation and make the migration clone fail.

    The XFRM netlink path is not affected: verify_one_alg() rejects an
    XFRMA_ALG_COMP attribute shorter than xfrm_alg_len(), so a calg added via
    XFRM_MSG_NEWSA is always self-consistent.

    Initialize calg->alg_key_len to 0, matching the aalg/ealg branches.
