"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-010798 advisory.

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

    VMCI: Fix memcpy() run-time warning in dg_dispatch_as_host()

    Syzkaller hit 'WARNING in dg_dispatch_as_host' bug.

    memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 56) of single field &dg_info->msg
    at drivers/misc/vmw_vmci/vmci_datagram.c:237 (size 24)

    WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1555 at drivers/misc/vmw_vmci/vmci_datagram.c:237
    dg_dispatch_as_host+0x88e/0xa60 drivers/misc/vmw_vmci/vmci_datagram.c:237

    Some code commentry, based on my understanding:

    544 #define VMCI_DG_SIZE(_dg) (VMCI_DG_HEADERSIZE + (size_t)(_dg)->payload_size)
    /// This is 24 + payload_size

    memcpy(&dg_info->msg, dg, dg_size);
            Destination = dg_info->msg ---> this is a 24 byte
                                            structure(struct vmci_datagram)
            Source = dg --> this is a 24 byte structure (struct vmci_datagram)
            Size = dg_size = 24 + payload_size

    {payload_size = 56-24 =32} -- Syzkaller managed to set payload_size to 32.

     35 struct delayed_datagram_info {
     36         struct datagram_entry *entry;
     37         struct work_struct work;
     38         bool in_dg_host_queue;
     39         /* msg and msg_payload must be together. */
     40         struct vmci_datagram msg;
     41         u8 msg_payload[];
     42 };

    So those extra bytes of payload are copied into msg_payload[], a run time
    warning is seen while fuzzing with Syzkaller.

    One possible way to fix the warning is to split the memcpy() into
    two parts -- one -- direct assignment of msg and second taking care of payload.

    Gustavo quoted:
    Under FORTIFY_SOURCE we should not copy data across multiple members
    in a structure.

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.");
