"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-991215 advisory.

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

    kyber: fix out of bounds access when preempted

    __blk_mq_sched_bio_merge() gets the ctx and hctx for the current CPU and
    passes the hctx to ->bio_merge(). kyber_bio_merge() then gets the ctx
    for the current CPU again and uses that to get the corresponding Kyber
    context in the passed hctx. However, the thread may be preempted between
    the two calls to blk_mq_get_ctx(), and the ctx returned the second time
    may no longer correspond to the passed hctx. This works accidentally
    most of the time, but it can cause us to read garbage if the second ctx
    came from an hctx with more ctx's than the first one (i.e., if
    ctx->index_hw[hctx->type] > hctx->nr_ctx).

    This manifested as this UBSAN array index out of bounds error reported
    by Jakub:

    UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in ../kernel/locking/qspinlock.c:130:9
    index 13106 is out of range for type 'long unsigned int [128]'

    Only Kyber uses the hctx, so fix it by passing the request_queue to
    ->bio_merge() instead. BFQ and mq-deadline just use that, and Kyber can
    map the queues itself to avoid the mismatch.

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
