"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-100340 advisory.

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

    ext4: avoid allocate block from corrupted group in ext4_mb_find_by_goal()

    There's issue as follows:
    ...
    EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p1): Delayed block allocation failed for inode 206 at logical offset 0 with max blocks 1
    with error 117
    EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p1): This should not happen!! Data will be lost

    EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p1): Delayed block allocation failed for inode 206 at logical offset 0 with max blocks 1
    with error 117
    EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p1): This should not happen!! Data will be lost

    EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p1): Delayed block allocation failed for inode 206 at logical offset 0 with max blocks 1
    with error 117
    EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p1): This should not happen!! Data will be lost

    EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p1): Delayed block allocation failed for inode 206 at logical offset 0 with max blocks 1
    with error 117
    EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p1): This should not happen!! Data will be lost

    EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p1): Delayed block allocation failed for inode 2243 at logical offset 0 with max blocks 1
    with error 117
    EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p1): This should not happen!! Data will be lost

    EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p1): Delayed block allocation failed for inode 2239 at logical offset 0 with max blocks 1
    with error 117
    EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p1): This should not happen!! Data will be lost

    EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p1): error count since last fsck: 1
    EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p1): initial error at time 1765597433: ext4_mb_generate_buddy:760
    EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p1): last error at time 1765597433: ext4_mb_generate_buddy:760
    ...

    According to the log analysis, blocks are always requested from the
    corrupted block group. This may happen as follows:
    ext4_mb_find_by_goal
      ext4_mb_load_buddy
       ext4_mb_load_buddy_gfp
         ext4_mb_init_cache
          ext4_read_block_bitmap_nowait
          ext4_wait_block_bitmap
           ext4_validate_block_bitmap
            if (!grp || EXT4_MB_GRP_BBITMAP_CORRUPT(grp))
             return -EFSCORRUPTED; // There's no logs.
     if (err)
      return err;  // Will return error
    ext4_lock_group(ac->ac_sb, group);
      if (unlikely(EXT4_MB_GRP_BBITMAP_CORRUPT(e4b->bd_info))) // Unreachable
       goto out;

    After commit 9008a58e5dce (ext4: make the bitmap read routines return
    real error codes) merged, Commit 163a203ddb36 (ext4: mark block group
    as corrupt on block bitmap error) is no real solution for allocating
    blocks from corrupted block groups. This is because if
    'EXT4_MB_GRP_BBITMAP_CORRUPT(e4b->bd_info)' is true, then
    'ext4_mb_load_buddy()' may return an error. This means that the block
    allocation will fail.
    Therefore, check block group if corrupted when ext4_mb_load_buddy()
    returns error.

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
