Synopsis

The Unity Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2025-989588 advisory.

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

ceph: fix memory leak in ceph_readdir when note_last_dentry returns error

Reset the last_readdir at the same time, and add a comment explaining why we don't free last_readdir when dir_emit returns false.
