The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2025-986639 advisory.

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

    Bluetooth: L2CAP: fix use-after-free in l2cap_conn_del()

    When l2cap_recv_frame() is invoked to receive data, and the cid is     L2CAP_CID_A2MP, if the channel does not exist, it will create a channel.
    However, after a channel is created, the hold operation of the channel     is not performed. In this case, the value of channel reference counting     is 1. As a result, after hci_error_reset() is triggered, l2cap_conn_del()     invokes the close hook function of A2MP to release the channel. Then      l2cap_chan_unlock(chan) will trigger UAF issue.

    The process is as follows:
    Receive data:
    l2cap_data_channel()         a2mp_channel_create()  --->channel ref is 2         l2cap_chan_put()       --->channel ref is 1

    Triger event:
        hci_error_reset()             hci_dev_do_close()             ...
            l2cap_disconn_cfm()                 l2cap_conn_del()                     l2cap_chan_hold()    --->channel ref is 2                     l2cap_chan_del()     --->channel ref is 1                     a2mp_chan_close_cb() --->channel ref is 0, release channel                     l2cap_chan_unlock()  --->UAF of channel

The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 4.14.299-223.520. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2022-1888 advisory.

    In v4l2_m2m_querybuf of v4l2-mem2mem.c, there is a possible out of bounds write due to improper input     validation. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User     interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android kernelAndroid ID:
    A-223375145References: Upstream kernel (CVE-2022-20369)

    In pppol2tp_create of l2tp_ppp.c, there is a possible use after free due to a race condition. This could     lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is not     needed for exploitation. (CVE-2022-20567)

    Non-transparent sharing of return predictor targets between contexts in some Intel(R) Processors may allow     an authorized user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2022-26373)

    A vulnerability classified as critical was found in Linux Kernel. Affected by this vulnerability is the     function l2cap_reassemble_sdu of the file net/bluetooth/l2cap_core.c of the component Bluetooth. The     manipulation leads to use after free. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue. The associated     identifier of this vulnerability is VDB-211087. (CVE-2022-3564)

    There is an infoleak vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/bluetooth/l2cap_core.c's l2cap_parse_conf_req     function which can be used to leak kernel pointers remotely. We recommend upgrading past commit     https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/b1a2cd50c0357f243b7435a732b4e62ba3157a2e     https://www.google.com/url (CVE-2022-42895)

The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2025-987175 advisory.

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

    Bluetooth: L2CAP: fix use-after-free in l2cap_conn_del()

    When l2cap_recv_frame() is invoked to receive data, and the cid is     L2CAP_CID_A2MP, if the channel does not exist, it will create a channel.
    However, after a channel is created, the hold operation of the channel     is not performed. In this case, the value of channel reference counting     is 1. As a result, after hci_error_reset() is triggered, l2cap_conn_del()     invokes the close hook function of A2MP to release the channel. Then      l2cap_chan_unlock(chan) will trigger UAF issue.

    The process is as follows:
    Receive data:
    l2cap_data_channel()         a2mp_channel_create()  --->channel ref is 2         l2cap_chan_put()       --->channel ref is 1

    Triger event:
        hci_error_reset()             hci_dev_do_close()             ...
            l2cap_disconn_cfm()                 l2cap_conn_del()                     l2cap_chan_hold()    --->channel ref is 2                     l2cap_chan_del()     --->channel ref is 1                     a2mp_chan_close_cb() --->channel ref is 0, release channel                     l2cap_chan_unlock()  --->UAF of channel
