Description
Hello, today I have updated photon 0s 4 from version 5-10 .61-5 .ph4-esx, having three security notifications.
My MVs have two network adapters, eth0 with static ip and eth1 with dynamic ip. Running smoothly.

Operational & securityinfo
Post update Networkctl status
Static IP configured and not modify
After installing the updates, the eth0 adapter does not have the ip that is configured manually, doing an ip or an ifconfig the adapter appears without IP.
If we do a networkctl, it tells me that the adapter is degraded and configuring.
Checking in other VMs without updating the status is routable and configured.
I can only get ip again using a DHCP for the eth0 adapter.
What has happened?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Photon OS 4 update from 5.10.61-5.ph4-esx to 5.10.78-4.ph4-esx on a VM with static eth0 and DHCP eth1. Compare networkctl status and the preserved network configuration before and after the update. Done means eth0 retains its configured static IP after updating, while the regression and its cause are documented.
