The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2026-100353 advisory.

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

    scsi: message: mptlan: Fix use after free bug in mptlan_remove() due to race condition

    mptlan_probe() calls mpt_register_lan_device() which initializes the     &priv->post_buckets_task workqueue. A call to     mpt_lan_wake_post_buckets_task() will subsequently start the work.

    During driver unload in mptlan_remove() the following race may occur:
