"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-006734 advisory.

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

    nfsd: provide locking for v4_end_grace

    Writing to v4_end_grace can race with server shutdown and result in
    memory being accessed after it was freed - reclaim_str_hashtbl in
    particularly.

    We cannot hold nfsd_mutex across the nfsd4_end_grace() call as that is
    held while client_tracking_op->init() is called and that can wait for
    an upcall to nfsdcltrack which can write to v4_end_grace, resulting in a
    deadlock.

    nfsd4_end_grace() is also called by the landromat work queue and this
    doesn't require locking as server shutdown will stop the work and wait
    for it before freeing anything that nfsd4_end_grace() might access.

    However, we must be sure that writing to v4_end_grace doesn't restart
    the work item after shutdown has already waited for it.  For this we
    add a new flag protected with nn->client_lock.  It is set only while it
    is safe to make client tracking calls, and v4_end_grace only schedules
    work while the flag is set with the spinlock held.

    So this patch adds a nfsd_net field client_tracking_active which is
    set as described.  Another field grace_end_forced, is set when
    v4_end_grace is written.  After this is set, and providing
    client_tracking_active is set, the laundromat is scheduled.
    This grace_end_forced field bypasses other checks for whether the
    grace period has finished.

    This resolves a race which can result in use-after-free.

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.");
