"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-003136 advisory.

    Linux kernel: Exploitable memory corruption due to UFO to non-UFO path switch. When building a UFO packet
    with MSG_MORE __ip_append_data() calls ip_ufo_append_data() to append. However in between two send()
    calls, the append path can be switched from UFO to non-UFO one, which leads to a memory corruption. In
    case UFO packet lengths exceeds MTU, copy = maxfraglen - skb->len becomes negative on the non-UFO path and
    the branch to allocate new skb is taken. This triggers fragmentation and computation of fraggap =
    skb_prev->len - maxfraglen. Fraggap can exceed MTU, causing copy = datalen - transhdrlen - fraggap to
    become negative. Subsequently skb_copy_and_csum_bits() writes out-of-bounds. A similar issue is present in
    IPv6 code. The bug was introduced in e89e9cf539a2 ([IPv4/IPv6]: UFO Scatter-gather approach) on Oct 18
    2005.

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.");
