"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-102093 advisory.

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

    ALSA: ctxfi: Limit PTP to a single page

    Commit 391e69143d0a increased CT_PTP_NUM from 1 to 4 to support 256
    playback streams, but the additional pages are not used by the card
    correctly. The CT20K2 hardware already has multiple VMEM_PTPAL
    registers, but using them separately would require refactoring the
    entire virtual memory allocation logic.

    ct_vm_map() always uses PTEs in vm->ptp[0].area regardless of
    CT_PTP_NUM. On AMD64 systems, a single PTP covers 512 PTEs (2M). When
    aggregate memory allocations exceed this limit, ct_vm_map() tries to
    access beyond the allocated space and causes a page fault:

      BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffd4ae8a10a000
      Oops: Oops: 0002 [#1] SMP PTI
      RIP: 0010:ct_vm_map+0x17c/0x280 [snd_ctxfi]
      Call Trace:
      atc_pcm_playback_prepare+0x225/0x3b0
      ct_pcm_playback_prepare+0x38/0x60
      snd_pcm_do_prepare+0x2f/0x50

      do_syscall_64+0x81/0x610
      entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e

    Revert CT_PTP_NUM to 1. The 256 SRC_RESOURCE_NUM and playback_count
    remain unchanged.

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.");
