"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-102046 advisory.

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

    net: openvswitch: fix middle attribute validation in push_nsh() action

    The push_nsh() action structure looks like this:

     OVS_ACTION_ATTR_PUSH_NSH(OVS_KEY_ATTR_NSH(OVS_NSH_KEY_ATTR_BASE,...))

    The outermost OVS_ACTION_ATTR_PUSH_NSH attribute is OK'ed by the
    nla_for_each_nested() inside __ovs_nla_copy_actions().  The innermost
    OVS_NSH_KEY_ATTR_BASE/MD1/MD2 are OK'ed by the nla_for_each_nested()
    inside nsh_key_put_from_nlattr().  But nothing checks if the attribute
    in the middle is OK.  We don't even check that this attribute is the
    OVS_KEY_ATTR_NSH.  We just do a double unwrap with a pair of nla_data()
    calls - first time directly while calling validate_push_nsh() and the
    second time as part of the nla_for_each_nested() macro, which isn't
    safe, potentially causing invalid memory access if the size of this
    attribute is incorrect.  The failure may not be noticed during
    validation due to larger netlink buffer, but cause trouble later during
    action execution where the buffer is allocated exactly to the size:

    Let's add some checks that the attribute is properly sized and it's
    the only one attribute inside the action.  Technically, there is no
    real reason for OVS_KEY_ATTR_NSH to be there, as we know that we're
    pushing an NSH header already, it just creates extra nesting, but
    that's how uAPI works today.  So, keeping as it is.
