"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-102047 advisory.

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

    btrfs: fix NULL dereference on root when tracing inode eviction

    When evicting an inode the first thing we do is to setup tracing for it,
    which implies fetching the root's id. But in btrfs_evict_inode() the
    root might be NULL, as implied in the next check that we do in
    btrfs_evict_inode().

    Hence, we either should set the ->root_objectid to 0 in case the root is
    NULL, or we move tracing setup after checking that the root is not
    NULL. Setting the rootid to 0 at least gives us the possibility to trace
    this call even in the case when the root is NULL, so that's the solution
    taken here.

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.");
