"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-989398 advisory.

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

    ipv6: sr: fix out-of-bounds read when setting HMAC data.

    The SRv6 layer allows defining HMAC data that can later be used to sign IPv6
    Segment Routing Headers. This configuration is realised via netlink through
    four attributes: SEG6_ATTR_HMACKEYID, SEG6_ATTR_SECRET, SEG6_ATTR_SECRETLEN and
    SEG6_ATTR_ALGID. Because the SECRETLEN attribute is decoupled from the actual
    length of the SECRET attribute, it is possible to provide invalid combinations
    (e.g., secret = , secretlen = 64). This case is not checked in the code and
    with an appropriately crafted netlink message, an out-of-bounds read of up
    to 64 bytes (max secret length) can occur past the skb end pointer and into
    skb_shared_info:

    Breakpoint 1, seg6_genl_sethmac (skb=<optimized out>, info=<optimized out>) at net/ipv6/seg6.c:208
    208             memcpy(hinfo->secret, secret, slen);

    (gdb) p/x secret
    $2 = 0xffff88800b1b76c0
    (gdb) p slen
    $3 = 64 '@'

    The OOB data can then be read back from userspace by dumping HMAC state. This
    commit fixes this by ensuring SECRETLEN cannot exceed the actual length of
    SECRET.

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.");
