"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-993159 advisory.

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

    ext4: Fix function prototype mismatch for ext4_feat_ktype

    With clang's kernel control flow integrity (kCFI, CONFIG_CFI_CLANG),
    indirect call targets are validated against the expected function
    pointer prototype to make sure the call target is valid to help mitigate
    ROP attacks. If they are not identical, there is a failure at run time,
    which manifests as either a kernel panic or thread getting killed.

    ext4_feat_ktype was setting the release handler to kfree, which
    doesn't have a matching function prototype. Add a simple wrapper
    with the correct prototype.

    This was found as a result of Clang's new -Wcast-function-type-strict
    flag, which is more sensitive than the simpler -Wcast-function-type,
    which only checks for type width mismatches.

    Note that this code is only reached when ext4 is a loadable module and
    it is being unloaded:

     CFI failure at kobject_put+0xbb/0x1b0 (target: kfree+0x0/0x180; expected type: 0x7c4aa698)
     ...
     RIP: 0010:kobject_put+0xbb/0x1b0
     ...
     Call Trace:
      <TASK>
      ext4_exit_sysfs+0x14/0x60 [ext4]
      cleanup_module+0x67/0xedb [ext4]

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.");
