"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-007286 advisory.

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

    af_unix: Fix garbage collector racing against connect()

    Garbage collector does not take into account the risk of embryo getting
    enqueued during the garbage collection. If such embryo has a peer that
    carries SCM_RIGHTS, two consecutive passes of scan_children() may see a
    different set of children. Leading to an incorrectly elevated inflight
    count, and then a dangling pointer within the gc_inflight_list.

    sockets are AF_UNIX/SOCK_STREAM
    S is an unconnected socket
    L is a listening in-flight socket bound to addr, not in fdtable
    V's fd will be passed via sendmsg(), gets inflight count bumped

    connect(S, addr)        sendmsg(S, [V]); close(V)       __unix_gc()
    ----------------        -------------------------       -----------

    NS = unix_create1()
    skb1 = sock_wmalloc(NS)
    L = unix_find_other(addr)
    unix_state_lock(L)
    unix_peer(S) = NS
                            // V count=1 inflight=0

                            NS = unix_peer(S)
                            skb2 = sock_alloc()
                            skb_queue_tail(NS, skb2[V])

                            // V became in-flight
                            // V count=2 inflight=1

                            close(V)

                            // V count=1 inflight=1
                            // GC candidate condition met

                                                    for u in gc_inflight_list:
                                                      if (total_refs == inflight_refs)
                                                        add u to gc_candidates

                                                    // gc_candidates={L, V}

                                                    for u in gc_candidates:
                                                      scan_children(u, dec_inflight)

                                                    // embryo (skb1) was not
                                                    // reachable from L yet, so V's
                                                    // inflight remains unchanged
    __skb_queue_tail(L, skb1)
    unix_state_unlock(L)
                                                    for u in gc_candidates:
                                                      if (u.inflight)
                                                        scan_children(u, inc_inflight_move_tail)

                                                    // V count=1 inflight=2 (!)

    If there is a GC-candidate listening socket, lock/unlock its state. This
    makes GC wait until the end of any ongoing connect() to that socket. After
    flipping the lock, a possibly SCM-laden embryo is already enqueued. And if
    there is another embryo coming, it can not possibly carry SCM_RIGHTS. At
    this point, unix_inflight() can not happen because unix_gc_lock is already
    taken. Inflight graph remains unaffected.

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