"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-099721 advisory.

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

    net: mvpp2: sync RX data at the hardware packet offset

    mvpp2 programs the RX queue packet offset, so hardware writes received
    data at dma_addr + MVPP2_SKB_HEADROOM. The current CPU sync starts at
    dma_addr and only covers rx_bytes + MVPP2_MH_SIZE bytes, which syncs the
    unused headroom and misses the same number of bytes at the packet tail.

    On non-coherent DMA systems this can leave the CPU reading stale cache
    contents for the end of the received frame.

    Use dma_sync_single_range_for_cpu() with MVPP2_SKB_HEADROOM as the range
    offset so the sync covers the Marvell header and packet data actually
    written by hardware.

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.");
