"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-989149 advisory.

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

    ipvlan: Fix out-of-bound bugs caused by unset skb->mac_header

    If an AF_PACKET socket is used to send packets through ipvlan and the
    default xmit function of the AF_PACKET socket is changed from
    dev_queue_xmit() to packet_direct_xmit() via setsockopt() with the option
    name of PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS, the skb->mac_header may not be reset and
    remains as the initial value of 65535, this may trigger slab-out-of-bounds
    bugs as following:

    =================================================================
    UG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in ipvlan_xmit_mode_l2+0xdb/0x330 [ipvlan]
    PU: 2 PID: 1768 Comm: raw_send Kdump: loaded Not tainted 6.0.0-rc4+ #6
    ardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.14.0-1.fc33
    all Trace:
    print_address_description.constprop.0+0x1d/0x160
    print_report.cold+0x4f/0x112
    kasan_report+0xa3/0x130

    do_syscall_64+0x3b/0x90
    entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd

    The root cause is:
      1. packet_snd() only reset skb->mac_header when sock->type is SOCK_RAW
         and skb->protocol is not specified as in packet_parse_headers()

      2. packet_direct_xmit() doesn't reset skb->mac_header as dev_queue_xmit()

    In this case, skb->mac_header is 65535 when ipvlan_xmit_mode_l2() is
    called. So when ipvlan_xmit_mode_l2() gets mac header with eth_hdr() which
    use skb->head + skb->mac_header, out-of-bound access occurs.

    This patch replaces eth_hdr() with skb_eth_hdr() in ipvlan_xmit_mode_l2()
    and reset mac header in multicast to solve this out-of-bound bug.

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.");
