"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-013494 advisory.

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

    vhost: fix hung thread due to erroneous iotlb entries

    In vhost_iotlb_add_range_ctx(), range size can overflow to 0 when
    start is 0 and last is ULONG_MAX. One instance where it can happen
    is when userspace sends an IOTLB message with iova=size=uaddr=0
    (vhost_process_iotlb_msg). So, an entry with size = 0, start = 0,
    last = ULONG_MAX ends up in the iotlb. Next time a packet is sent,
    iotlb_access_ok() loops indefinitely due to that erroneous entry.

            Call Trace:
             <TASK>

    Reported by syzbot at:
            https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=0abd373e2e50d704db87

    To fix this, do two things:

    1. Return -EINVAL in vhost_chr_write_iter() when userspace asks to map
       a range with size 0.
    2. Fix vhost_iotlb_add_range_ctx() to handle the range [0, ULONG_MAX]
       by splitting it into two entries.

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.");
