"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-005757 advisory.

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

    ipv6: Add lwtunnel encap size of all siblings in nexthop calculation

    In function rt6_nlmsg_size(), the length of nexthop is calculated
    by multipling the nexthop length of fib6_info and the number of
    siblings. However if the fib6_info has no lwtunnel but the siblings
    have lwtunnels, the nexthop length is less than it should be, and
    it will trigger a warning in inet6_rt_notify() as follows:

    WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 6082 at net/ipv6/route.c:6180 inet6_rt_notify+0x120/0x130
    ......
    Call Trace:

     do_syscall_64+0x3f/0x90
     entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x72/0xdc

    This bug can be reproduced by script:

    ip -6 addr add 2002::2/64 dev ens2
    ip -6 route add 100::/64 via 2002::1 dev ens2 metric 100

    for i in 10 20 30 40 50 60 70;
    do
            ip link add link ens2 name ipv_$i type ipvlan
            ip -6 addr add 2002::$i/64 dev ipv_$i
            ifconfig ipv_$i up
    done

    for i in 10 20 30 40 50 60;
    do
            ip -6 route append 100::/64 encap ip6 dst 2002::$i via 2002::1
    dev ipv_$i metric 100
    done

    ip -6 route append 100::/64 via 2002::1 dev ipv_70 metric 100

    This patch fixes it by adding nexthop_len of every siblings using
    rt6_nh_nlmsg_size().

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.
