"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-987555 advisory.

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

    rxrpc: Fix call timer start racing with call destruction

    The rxrpc_call struct has a timer used to handle various timed events
    relating to a call.  This timer can get started from the packet input
    routines that are run in softirq mode with just the RCU read lock held.
    Unfortunately, because only the RCU read lock is held - and neither ref or
    other lock is taken - the call can start getting destroyed at the same time
    a packet comes in addressed to that call.  This causes the timer - which
    was already stopped - to get restarted.  Later, the timer dispatch code may
    then oops if the timer got deallocated first.

    Fix this by trying to take a ref on the rxrpc_call struct and, if
    successful, passing that ref along to the timer.  If the timer was already
    running, the ref is discarded.

    The timer completion routine can then pass the ref along to the call's work
    item when it queues it.  If the timer or work item where already
    queued/running, the extra ref is discarded.

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.");
