"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-422157 advisory.

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

    usb: gadget: ncm: Avoid dropping datagrams of properly parsed NTBs

    It is observed sometimes when tethering is used over NCM with Windows 11
    as host, at some instances, the gadget_giveback has one byte appended at
    the end of a proper NTB. When the NTB is parsed, unwrap call looks for
    any leftover bytes in SKB provided by u_ether and if there are any pending
    bytes, it treats them as a separate NTB and parses it. But in case the
    second NTB (as per unwrap call) is faulty/corrupt, all the datagrams that
    were parsed properly in the first NTB and saved in rx_list are dropped.

    Adding a few custom traces showed the following:
    [002] d..1  7828.532866: dwc3_gadget_giveback: ep1out:
    req 000000003868811a length 1025/16384 zsI ==> 0
    [002] d..1  7828.532867: ncm_unwrap_ntb: K: ncm_unwrap_ntb toprocess: 1025
    [002] d..1  7828.532867: ncm_unwrap_ntb: K: ncm_unwrap_ntb nth: 1751999342
    [002] d..1  7828.532868: ncm_unwrap_ntb: K: ncm_unwrap_ntb seq: 0xce67
    [002] d..1  7828.532868: ncm_unwrap_ntb: K: ncm_unwrap_ntb blk_len: 0x400
    [002] d..1  7828.532868: ncm_unwrap_ntb: K: ncm_unwrap_ntb ndp_len: 0x10
    [002] d..1  7828.532869: ncm_unwrap_ntb: K: Parsed NTB with 1 frames

    In this case, the giveback is of 1025 bytes and block length is 1024.
    The rest 1 byte (which is 0x00) won't be parsed resulting in drop of
    all datagrams in rx_list.

    Same is case with packets of size 2048:
    [002] d..1  7828.557948: dwc3_gadget_giveback: ep1out:
    req 0000000011dfd96e length 2049/16384 zsI ==> 0
    [002] d..1  7828.557949: ncm_unwrap_ntb: K: ncm_unwrap_ntb nth: 1751999342
    [002] d..1  7828.557950: ncm_unwrap_ntb: K: ncm_unwrap_ntb blk_len: 0x800

    Lecroy shows one byte coming in extra confirming that the byte is coming
    in from PC:

     Transfer 2959 - Bytes Transferred(1025)  Timestamp((18.524 843 590)
     - Transaction 8391 - Data(1025 bytes) Timestamp(18.524 843 590)
     --- Packet 4063861
           Data(1024 bytes)
           Duration(2.117us) Idle(14.700ns) Timestamp(18.524 843 590)
     --- Packet 4063863
           Data(1 byte)
           Duration(66.160ns) Time(282.000ns) Timestamp(18.524 845 722)

    According to Windows driver, no ZLP is needed if wBlockLength is non-zero,
    because the non-zero wBlockLength has already told the function side the
    size of transfer to be expected. However, there are in-market NCM devices
    that rely on ZLP as long as the wBlockLength is multiple of wMaxPacketSize.
    To deal with such devices, it pads an extra 0 at end so the transfer is no
    longer multiple of wMaxPacketSize.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
