"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-100182 advisory.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: validate extension header length before copying to cmsg
ip6_datagram_recv_specific_ctl() builds IPV6_{HOPOPTS,DSTOPTS,RTHDR}
cmsgs (and their IPV6_2292* legacy counterparts) by trusting the
on-wire hdrlen byte (ptr[1]) when computing the put_cmsg() length.
The length was validated only at parse time (ipv6_parse_hopopts(),
etc.). An nftables payload-write expression can rewrite hdrlen after
parsing and before the skb reaches recvmsg; the write itself is
in-bounds but put_cmsg() then reads up to ((hdrlen+1) << 3) = 2040
bytes from an 8-byte header. nftables is reachable from an
unprivileged user namespace, so this is an unprivileged
slab-out-of-bounds read:
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in put_cmsg+0x3ac/0x540
put_cmsg+0x3ac/0x540
udpv6_recvmsg+0xca0/0x1250
sock_recvmsg+0xdf/0x190
____sys_recvmsg+0x1b1/0x620
Add ipv6_get_exthdr_len() which validates that at least two bytes
are accessible before reading the hdrlen field, then checks the
computed length against skb_tail_pointer(skb), returning 0 on
failure. Extension headers are kept in the linear skb area by
pskb_may_pull() during input, so skb_tail_pointer() is the correct
bound.
Use ipv6_get_exthdr_len() at all non-AH call sites: the five
standalone cmsg blocks (HbH, 2292HbH, 2292DSTOPTS x2, 2292RTHDR)
and the three standard cases in the extension-header walk loop
(DSTOPTS, ROUTING, default). AH retains an inline bounds check
because its length formula differs ((ptr[1]+2)<<2).
The walk loop also gets a pre-read bounds check at the top to
validate ptr before any case accesses ptr[0] or ptr[1].
When the walk loop detects a corrupted header, return from the
function instead of continuing to process later socket options.
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.");
