"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-993068 advisory.

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

    ext4: block range must be validated before use in ext4_mb_clear_bb()

    Block range to free is validated in ext4_free_blocks() using
    ext4_inode_block_valid() and then it's passed to ext4_mb_clear_bb().
    However in some situations on bigalloc file system the range might be
    adjusted after the validation in ext4_free_blocks() which can lead to
    troubles on corrupted file systems such as one found by syzkaller that
    resulted in the following BUG

    Fix it by making sure that the block range is properly validated before
    used every time it changes in ext4_free_blocks() or ext4_mb_clear_bb().

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.
