"The Unity Linux host is missing one or more security updates.");
  script_set_attribute(attribute:"description", value:
"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-443680 advisory.

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

    hfsplus: don't query the device logical block size multiple times

    Devices block sizes may change. One of these cases is a loop device by
    using ioctl LOOP_SET_BLOCK_SIZE.

    While this may cause other issues like IO being rejected, in the case of
    hfsplus, it will allocate a block by using that size and potentially write
    out-of-bounds when hfsplus_read_wrapper calls hfsplus_submit_bio and the
    latter function reads a different io_size.

    Using a new min_io_size initally set to sb_min_blocksize works for the
    purposes of the original fix, since it will be set to the max between
    HFSPLUS_SECTOR_SIZE and the first seen logical block size. We still use the
    max between HFSPLUS_SECTOR_SIZE and min_io_size in case the latter is not
    initialized.

    Tested by mounting an hfsplus filesystem with loop block sizes 512, 1024
    and 4096.

    The produced KASAN report before the fix looks like this:
