"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-007556 advisory.

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

    netlink: terminate outstanding dump on socket close

    Netlink supports iterative dumping of data. It provides the families
    the following ops:
     - start - (optional) kicks off the dumping process
     - dump  - actual dump helper, keeps getting called until it returns 0
     - done  - (optional) pairs with .start, can be used for cleanup
    The whole process is asynchronous and the repeated calls to .dump
    don't actually happen in a tight loop, but rather are triggered
    in response to recvmsg() on the socket.

    This gives the user full control over the dump, but also means that
    the user can close the socket without getting to the end of the dump.
    To make sure .start is always paired with .done we check if there
    is an ongoing dump before freeing the socket, and if so call .done.

    The complication is that sockets can get freed from BH and .done
    is allowed to sleep. So we use a workqueue to defer the call, when
    needed.

    Unfortunately this does not work correctly. What we defer is not
    the cleanup but rather releasing a reference on the socket.
    We have no guarantee that we own the last reference, if someone
    else holds the socket they may release it in BH and we're back
    to square one.

    The whole dance, however, appears to be unnecessary. Only the user
    can interact with dumps, so we can clean up when socket is closed.
    And close always happens in process context. Some async code may
    still access the socket after close, queue notification skbs to it etc.
    but no dumps can start, end or otherwise make progress.

    Delete the workqueue and flush the dump state directly from the release
    handler. Note that further cleanup is possible in -next, for instance
    we now always call .done before releasing the main module reference,
    so dump doesn't have to take a reference of its own.

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.");
