"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-989409 advisory.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: sch_ets: don't peek at classes beyond 'nbands'
when the number of DRR classes decreases, the round-robin active list can
contain elements that have already been freed in ets_qdisc_change(). As a
consequence, it's possible to see a NULL dereference crash, caused by the
attempt to call cl->qdisc->ops->peek(cl->qdisc) when cl->qdisc is NULL:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000018

Ensuring that 'alist' was never zeroed [1] was not sufficient, we need to
remove from the active list those elements that are no more SP nor DRR.

v3: fix race between ets_qdisc_change() and ets_qdisc_dequeue() delisting
DRR classes beyond 'nbands' in ets_qdisc_change() with the qdisc lock
acquired, thanks to Cong Wang.
v2: when a NULL qdisc is found in the DRR active list, try to dequeue skb
from the next list item.
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
