"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-098962 advisory.

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

    bpf: Sync pending IRQ work before freeing ring buffer

    Fix a race where irq_work can be queued in bpf_ringbuf_commit()
    but the ring buffer is freed before the work executes.
    In the syzbot reproducer, a BPF program attached to sched_switch
    triggers bpf_ringbuf_commit(), queuing an irq_work. If the ring buffer
    is freed before this work executes, the irq_work thread may accesses
    freed memory.
    Calling `irq_work_sync(&rb->work)` ensures that all pending irq_work
    complete before freeing the buffer.

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.");
