"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-146255 advisory.

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

    rds: tcp: hold the RCU lock across ipv6_chk_addr() in rds_tcp_laddr_check()

    rds_tcp_laddr_check() looks up a scoped IPv6 interface with
    dev_get_by_index_rcu(), drops the RCU read-side lock, and only then
    passes the bare struct net_device * into ipv6_chk_addr().

    dev_get_by_index_rcu() only keeps the device alive within the same RCU
    read-side section. After rcu_read_unlock(), a concurrent RTM_DELLINK can
    free the net_device; ipv6_chk_addr() then dereferences the stale pointer
    in __ipv6_chk_addr_and_flags() (e.g. l3mdev_master_dev_rcu(dev)), reading
    freed memory.

    Keep the RCU read-side lock held across the ipv6_chk_addr() call instead
    of dropping it right after the lookup, so the device cannot be freed
    while it is in use.

      BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in __ipv6_chk_addr_and_flags (... net/ipv6/addrconf.c:1998)
