"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-011269 advisory.

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

    crypto: akcipher - default implementation for setting a private key

    Changes from v1:
      * removed the default implementation from set_pub_key: it is assumed that
        an implementation must always have this callback defined as there are
        no use case for an algorithm, which doesn't need a public key

    Many akcipher implementations (like ECDSA) support only signature
    verifications, so they don't have all callbacks defined.

    Commit 78a0324f4a53 (crypto: akcipher - default implementations for
    request callbacks) introduced default callbacks for sign/verify
    operations, which just return an error code.

    However, these are not enough, because before calling sign the caller would
    likely call set_priv_key first on the instantiated transform (as the
    in-kernel testmgr does). This function does not have a default stub, so the
    kernel crashes, when trying to set a private key on an akcipher, which
    doesn't support signature generation.

    I've noticed this, when trying to add a KAT vector for ECDSA signature to
    the testmgr.

    With this patch the testmgr returns an error in dmesg (as it should)
    instead of crashing the kernel NULL ptr dereference.

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.");
