"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-011374 advisory.

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

    bpf, sockmap: Fix an infinite loop error when len is 0 in tcp_bpf_recvmsg_parser()

    When the buffer length of the recvmsg system call is 0, we got the
    flollowing soft lockup problem:

    The logic in tcp_bpf_recvmsg_parser is as follows:

    msg_bytes_ready:
            copied = sk_msg_recvmsg(sk, psock, msg, len, flags);
            if (!copied) {
                    wait data;
                    goto msg_bytes_ready;
            }

    In this case, copied always is 0, the infinite loop occurs.

    According to the Linux system call man page, 0 should be returned in this
    case. Therefore, in tcp_bpf_recvmsg_parser(), if the length is 0, directly
    return. Also modify several other functions with the same problem.

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.");
