"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-099961 advisory.

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

    net: qrtr: fix refcount saturation and potential UAF in qrtr_port_remove

    In qrtr_port_remove(), the socket reference count is decremented via
    __sock_put() before the port is removed from the qrtr_ports XArray and
    before the RCU grace period elapses.

    This breaks the fundamental RCU update paradigm. It exposes a race
    window where a concurrent RCU reader (such as qrtr_reset_ports() or
    qrtr_port_lookup()) can obtain a pointer to the socket from the XArray,
    and attempt to call sock_hold() on a socket whose reference count has
    already dropped to zero.

    This exact race condition was hit during syzkaller fuzzing, leading to
    the following refcount saturation warning and a potential Use-After-Free:

      refcount_t: saturated; leaking memory.
      WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 1273 at lib/refcount.c:22 refcount_warn_saturate+0xae/0x1d0

       </TASK>

    Fix this by deferring the reference count decrement until after the
    xa_erase() and the synchronize_rcu() complete.

    (Note: The v1 of this patch incorrectly replaced __sock_put() with
    sock_put(). As Simon Horman pointed out, the callers of qrtr_port_remove()
    still hold a reference to the socket, so freeing the socket memory here
    would lead to a subsequent UAF in the caller. Thus, the __sock_put() is
    kept, but only repositioned to close the RCU race.)

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.");
