"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-992910 advisory.

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

    fsnotify: clear PARENT_WATCHED flags lazily

    In some setups directories can have many (usually negative) dentries.
    Hence __fsnotify_update_child_dentry_flags() function can take a
    significant amount of time. Since the bulk of this function happens
    under inode->i_lock this causes a significant contention on the lock
    when we remove the watch from the directory as the
    __fsnotify_update_child_dentry_flags() call from fsnotify_recalc_mask()
    races with __fsnotify_update_child_dentry_flags() calls from
    __fsnotify_parent() happening on children. This can lead upto softlockup
    reports reported by users.

    Fix the problem by calling fsnotify_update_children_dentry_flags() to
    set PARENT_WATCHED flags only when parent starts watching children.

    When parent stops watching children, clear false positive PARENT_WATCHED
    flags lazily in __fsnotify_parent() for each accessed child.

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.");
