"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-989462 advisory.

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

    rtl818x: Prevent using not initialized queues

    Using not existing queues can panic the kernel with rtl8180/rtl8185 cards.
    Ignore the skb priority for those cards, they only have one tx queue. Pierre
    Asselin ([email protected]) reported the kernel crash in the Gentoo forum:

    https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1147832-postdays-0-postorder-asc-start-25.html

    He also confirmed that this patch fixes the issue. In summary this happened:

    After updating wpa_supplicant from 2.9 to 2.10 the kernel crashed with a
    divide error: 0000 when connecting to an AP. Control port tx now tries to
    use IEEE80211_AC_VO for the priority, which wpa_supplicants starts to use in
    2.10.

    Since only the rtl8187se part of the driver supports QoS, the priority
    of the skb is set to IEEE80211_AC_BE (2) by mac80211 for rtl8180/rtl8185
    cards.

    rtl8180 is then unconditionally reading out the priority and finally crashes on
    drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtl818x/rtl8180/dev.c line 544 without this
    patch:
            idx = (ring->idx + skb_queue_len(&ring->queue)) % ring->entries

    ring->entries is zero for rtl8180/rtl8185 cards, tx_ring[2] never got
    initialized.

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.");
