  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-2026-098762 advisory.

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

    crypto: af_alg - zero initialize memory allocated via sock_kmalloc

    Several crypto user API contexts and requests allocated with
    sock_kmalloc() were left uninitialized, relying on callers to
    set fields explicitly. This resulted in the use of uninitialized
    data in certain error paths or when new fields are added in the
    future.

    The ACVP patches also contain two user-space interface files:
    algif_kpp.c and algif_akcipher.c. These too rely on proper
    initialization of their context structures.

    A particular issue has been observed with the newly added
    'inflight' variable introduced in af_alg_ctx by commit:

      67b164a871af (crypto: af_alg - Disallow multiple in-flight AIO requests)

    Because the context is not memset to zero after allocation,
    the inflight variable has contained garbage values. As a result,
    af_alg_alloc_areq() has incorrectly returned -EBUSY randomly when
    the garbage value was interpreted as true:

      https://github.com/gregkh/linux/blame/master/crypto/af_alg.c#L1209

    The check directly tests ctx->inflight without explicitly
    comparing against true/false. Since inflight is only ever set to
    true or false later, an uninitialized value has triggered
    -EBUSY failures. Zero-initializing memory allocated with
    sock_kmalloc() ensures inflight and other fields start in a known
    state, removing random issues caused by uninitialized data.

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.");
