"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-990225 advisory.

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

    drop_monitor: replace spin_lock by raw_spin_lock

    trace_drop_common() is called with preemption disabled, and it acquires
    a spin_lock. This is problematic for RT kernels because spin_locks are
    sleeping locks in this configuration, which causes the following splat:

    ...

    trace_drop_common() also disables interrupts, but this is a minor issue
    because we could easily replace it with a local_lock.

    Replace the spin_lock with raw_spin_lock to avoid sleeping in atomic
    context.

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.");
