"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-105423 advisory.

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

    net: sched: cake: fix null pointer access issue when cake_init() fails

    When the default qdisc is cake, if the qdisc of dev_queue fails to be
    inited during mqprio_init(), cake_reset() is invoked to clear
    resources. In this case, the tins is NULL, and it will cause gpf issue.

    The process is as follows:
    qdisc_create_dflt()
            cake_init()
                    q->tins = kvcalloc(...)        --->failed, q->tins is NULL
            ...
            qdisc_put()
                    ...
                    cake_reset()
                            ...
                            cake_dequeue_one()
                                    b = &q->tins[...]   --->q->tins is NULL

    The following is the Call Trace information:
