Description

The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2025-987003 advisory.

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

tcp: Fix data-races around sysctl_tcp_fastopen.

While reading sysctl_tcp_fastopen, it can be changed concurrently.
Thus, we need to add READ_ONCE() to its readers.
