  script_set_attribute(attribute:"description", value:
"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-100531 advisory.

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

    ACPI: NFIT: core: Fix acpi_nfit_init() error cleanup

    If acpi_nfit_init() fails after adding the acpi_desc object to the
    acpi_descs list, that object is never removed from that list because
    the acpi_nfit_shutdown() devm action is not added for the NFIT device
    in that case.  Next, the acpi_nfit_init() failure causes
    acpi_nfit_probe() to fail, the acpi_desc object is freed, and a
    dangling pointer is left behind in the acpi_descs.  Any subsequent
    ACPI Machine Check Exception will trigger nfit_handle_mce() which
    iterates over acpi_descs and so a use-after-free will occur.

    Moreover, if acpi_nfit_probe() returns 0 after installing a notify
    handler for the NFIT device and without allocating the acpi_desc
    object and setting the NFIT device's driver data pointer, the
    acpi_desc object will be allocated by acpi_nfit_update_notify()
    and acpi_nfit_init() will be called to initialize it.  Regardless
    of whether or not acpi_nfit_init() fails in that case, the
    acpi_nfit_shutdown() devm action is not added for the NFIT device
    and acpi_desc is never removed from the acpi_descs list.  If the
    acpi_desc object is freed subsequently on driver removal, any
    subsequent ACPI MCE will lead to a use-after-free like in the
    previous case.

    To address the first issue mentioned above, make acpi_nfit_probe()
    call acpi_nfit_shutdown() directly on acpi_nfit_init() failures and
    to address the other one, add a remove callback to the driver and
    make it call acpi_nfit_shutdown().  Also, since it is now possible to
    pass NULL to acpi_nfit_shutdown() or the acpi_desc object passed to it
    may not have been initialized, add checks against NULL for acpi_desc and
    its nvdimm_bus field to that function and make acpi_nfit_unregister()
    clear the latter after unregistering the NVDIMM bus.

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.");
