"The Unity Linux host is missing one or more security updates.");
  script_set_attribute(attribute:"description", value:
"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-013482 advisory.

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

    net: preserve skb_end_offset() in skb_unclone_keeptruesize()

    syzbot found another way to trigger the infamous WARN_ON_ONCE(delta < len)
    in skb_try_coalesce() [1]

    I was able to root cause the issue to kfence.

    When kfence is in action, the following assertion is no longer true:

    int size = xxxx;
    void *ptr1 = kmalloc(size, gfp);
    void *ptr2 = kmalloc(size, gfp);

    if (ptr1 && ptr2)
            ASSERT(ksize(ptr1) == ksize(ptr2));

    We attempted to fix these issues in the blamed commits, but forgot
    that TCP was possibly shifting data after skb_unclone_keeptruesize()
    has been used, notably from tcp_retrans_try_collapse().

    So we not only need to keep same skb->truesize value,
    we also need to make sure TCP wont fill new tailroom
    that pskb_expand_head() was able to get from a
    addr = kmalloc(...) followed by ksize(addr)

    Split skb_unclone_keeptruesize() into two parts:

    1) Inline skb_unclone_keeptruesize() for the common case,
       when skb is not cloned.

    2) Out of line __skb_unclone_keeptruesize() for the 'slow path'.
