"The Unity Linux host is missing one or more security updates.");
  script_set_attribute(attribute:"description", value:
"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-005677 advisory.

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

    mm/swapfile: skip HugeTLB pages for unuse_vma

    I got a bad pud error and lost a 1GB HugeTLB when calling swapoff.  The
    problem can be reproduced by the following steps:

     1. Allocate an anonymous 1GB HugeTLB and some other anonymous memory.
     2. Swapout the above anonymous memory.
     3. run swapoff and we will get a bad pud error in kernel message:

      mm/pgtable-generic.c:42: bad pud 00000000743d215d(84000001400000e7)

    We can tell that pud_clear_bad is called by pud_none_or_clear_bad in
    unuse_pud_range() by ftrace.  And therefore the HugeTLB pages will never
    be freed because we lost it from page table.  We can skip HugeTLB pages
    for unuse_vma to fix it.

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.");
