"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-100535 advisory.

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

    crypto: qat - remove unused character device and IOCTLs

    The QAT driver exposes a character device (qat_adf_ctl) with IOCTLs
    for device configuration, start, stop, status query and enumeration.
    These IOCTLs are not part of any public uAPI header and have no known
    in-tree or out-of-tree users. Device lifecycle is already managed via
    sysfs.

    The ioctl interface also increases the attack surface and is the
    subject of a number of bug reports.

    Remove the character device, the IOCTL definitions, and the related
    data structures (adf_dev_status_info, adf_user_cfg_key_val,
    adf_user_cfg_section, adf_user_cfg_ctl_data). Drop the now-unused
    adf_cfg_user.h header and strip adf_ctl_drv.c down to the minimal
    module_init/module_exit hooks for workqueue, AER, and crypto/compression
    algorithm registration.

    Clean up leftover dead code that was only reachable from the removed
    IOCTL paths: adf_cfg_del_all(), adf_devmgr_verify_id(),
    adf_devmgr_get_num_dev(), adf_devmgr_get_dev_by_id(),
    adf_get_vf_real_id() and the unused ADF_CFG macros.

    Additionally, drop the entry associated to QAT IOCTLs in
    ioctl-number.rst.

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.");
