"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-011111 advisory.

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

    scsi: iscsi: iscsi_tcp: Fix null-ptr-deref while calling getpeername()

    Fix a NULL pointer crash that occurs when we are freeing the socket at the
    same time we access it via sysfs.

    The problem is that:

     1. iscsi_sw_tcp_conn_get_param() and iscsi_sw_tcp_host_get_param() take
        the frwd_lock and do sock_hold() then drop the frwd_lock. sock_hold()
        does a get on the struct sock.

     2. iscsi_sw_tcp_release_conn() does sockfd_put() which does the last put
        on the struct socket and that does __sock_release() which sets the
        sock->ops to NULL.

     3. iscsi_sw_tcp_conn_get_param() and iscsi_sw_tcp_host_get_param() then
        call kernel_getpeername() which accesses the NULL sock->ops.

    Above we do a get on the struct sock, but we needed a get on the struct
    socket. Originally, we just held the frwd_lock the entire time but in
    commit bcf3a2953d36 (scsi: iscsi: iscsi_tcp: Avoid holding spinlock while
    calling getpeername()) we switched to refcount based because the network
    layer changed and started taking a mutex in that path, so we could no
    longer hold the frwd_lock.

    Instead of trying to maintain multiple refcounts, this just has us use a
    mutex for accessing the socket in the interface code paths.

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.");
