"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-007453 advisory.

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

    ip6_vti: fix slab-use-after-free in decode_session6

    When ipv6_vti device is set to the qdisc of the sfb type, the cb field
    of the sent skb may be modified during enqueuing. Then,
    slab-use-after-free may occur when ipv6_vti device sends IPv6 packets.

    The stack information is as follows:

    The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff88802e08ed00
    which belongs to the cache skbuff_small_head of size 640
    The buggy address is located 194 bytes inside of
    freed 640-byte region [ffff88802e08ed00, ffff88802e08ef80)

    As commit f855691975bb (xfrm6: Fix the nexthdr offset in
    _decode_session6.) showed, xfrm_decode_session was originally intended
    only for the receive path. IP6CB(skb)->nhoff is not set during
    transmission. Therefore, set the cb field in the skb to 0 before
    sending packets.

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