"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-013181 advisory.

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

    ring-buffer: Sync IRQ works before buffer destruction

    If something was written to the buffer just before destruction,
    it may be possible (maybe not in a real system, but it did
    happen in ARCH=um with time-travel) to destroy the ringbuffer
    before the IRQ work ran, leading this KASAN report (or a crash
    without KASAN):

         freed 1024-byte region [000000006d640800, 000000006d640c00)

    Add the appropriate irq_work_sync() so the work finishes before
    the buffers are destroyed.

    Prior to the commit in the Fixes tag below, there was only a
    single global IRQ work, so this issue didn't exist.

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.");
