"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-990877 advisory.

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

    f2fs: Require FMODE_WRITE for atomic write ioctls

    The F2FS ioctls for starting and committing atomic writes check for
    inode_owner_or_capable(), but this does not give LSMs like SELinux or
    Landlock an opportunity to deny the write access - if the caller's FSUID
    matches the inode's UID, inode_owner_or_capable() immediately returns true.

    There are scenarios where LSMs want to deny a process the ability to write
    particular files, even files that the FSUID of the process owns; but this
    can currently partially be bypassed using atomic write ioctls in two ways:

     - F2FS_IOC_START_ATOMIC_REPLACE + F2FS_IOC_COMMIT_ATOMIC_WRITE can
       truncate an inode to size 0
     - F2FS_IOC_START_ATOMIC_WRITE + F2FS_IOC_ABORT_ATOMIC_WRITE can revert
       changes another process concurrently made to a file

    Fix it by requiring FMODE_WRITE for these operations, just like for
    F2FS_IOC_MOVE_RANGE. Since any legitimate caller should only be using these
    ioctls when intending to write into the file, that seems unlikely to break
    anything.

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.");
