"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-2026-013554 advisory.

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

    netfilter: ebtables: fix table blob use-after-free

    We are not allowed to return an error at this point.
    Looking at the code it looks like ret is always 0 at this
    point, but its not.

    t = find_table_lock(net, repl->name, &ret, &ebt_mutex);

    ... this can return a valid table, with ret != 0.

    This bug causes update of table->private with the new
    blob, but then frees the blob right away in the caller.

    Syzbot report:

    BUG: KASAN: vmalloc-out-of-bounds in __ebt_unregister_table+0xc00/0xcd0
    net/bridge/netfilter/ebtables.c:1168
    Read of size 4 at addr ffffc90005425000 by task kworker/u4:4/74
    Workqueue: netns cleanup_net
    Call Trace:

     cleanup_net+0x4ee/0xb10 net/core/net_namespace.c:613
    ...

    ip(6)tables appears to be ok (ret should be 0 at this point) but make
    this more obvious.

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.");
