"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-021575 advisory.

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

    btrfs: check folio mapping after unlock in relocate_one_folio()

    When we call btrfs_read_folio() to bring a folio uptodate, we unlock the
    folio. The result of that is that a different thread can modify the
    mapping (like remove it with invalidate) before we call folio_lock().
    This results in an invalid page and we need to try again.

    In particular, if we are relocating concurrently with aborting a
    transaction, this can result in a crash like the following:

    This occurs because cleanup_one_transaction() calls
    destroy_delalloc_inodes() which calls invalidate_inode_pages2() which
    takes the folio_lock before setting mapping to NULL. We fail to check
    this, and subsequently call set_extent_mapping(), which assumes that
    mapping != NULL (in fact it asserts that in debug mode)

    Note that the fixes patch here is not the one that introduced the
    race (the very first iteration of this code from 2009) but a more recent
    change that made this particular crash happen in practice.

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.");
