"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-993160 advisory.

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

    btrfs: fix race between quota enable and quota rescan ioctl

    When enabling quotas, at btrfs_quota_enable(), after committing the
    transaction, we change fs_info->quota_root to point to the quota root we
    created and set BTRFS_FS_QUOTA_ENABLED at fs_info->flags. Then we try
    to start the qgroup rescan worker, first by initializing it with a call
    to qgroup_rescan_init() - however if that fails we end up freeing the
    quota root but we leave fs_info->quota_root still pointing to it, this
    can later result in a use-after-free somewhere else.

    We have previously set the flags BTRFS_FS_QUOTA_ENABLED and
    BTRFS_QGROUP_STATUS_FLAG_ON, so we can only fail with -EINPROGRESS at
    btrfs_quota_enable(), which is possible if someone already called the
    quota rescan ioctl, and therefore started the rescan worker.

    So fix this by ignoring an -EINPROGRESS and asserting we can't get any
    other error.

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.");
