The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2025-989053 advisory.

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

    f2fs: quota: fix loop condition at f2fs_quota_sync()

    cnt should be passed to sb_has_quota_active() instead of type to check     active quota properly.

    Moreover, when the type is -1, the compiler with enough inline knowledge     can discard sb_has_quota_active() check altogether, causing a NULL pointer     dereference at the following inode_lock(dqopt->files[cnt]):
