"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-005115 advisory.

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

    net/iucv: fix use after free in iucv_sock_close()

    iucv_sever_path() is called from process context and from bh context.
    iucv->path is used as indicator whether somebody else is taking care of
    severing the path (or it is already removed / never existed).
    This needs to be done with atomic compare and swap, otherwise there is a
    small window where iucv_sock_close() will try to work with a path that has
    already been severed and freed by iucv_callback_connrej() called by
    iucv_tasklet_fn().

    [452744.125325] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt

    Note that bh_lock_sock() is not serializing the tasklet context against
    process context, because the check for sock_owned_by_user() and
    corresponding handling is missing.

    Ideas for a future clean-up patch:
    A) Correct usage of bh_lock_sock() in tasklet context, as described in
    Re-enqueue, if needed. This may require adding return values to the
    tasklet functions and thus changes to all users of iucv.

    B) Change iucv tasklet into worker and use only lock_sock() in af_iucv.

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.");
