"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-102105 advisory.

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

    ALSA: ctxfi: Fix potential OOB access in audio mixer handling

    In the audio mixer handling code of ctxfi driver, the conf field is
    used as a kind of loop index, and it's referred in the index callbacks
    (amixer_index() and sum_index()).

    As spotted recently by fuzzers, the current code causes OOB access at
    those functions.
    | UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in /build/reproducible-
    path/linux-6.17.8/sound/pci/ctxfi/ctamixer.c:347:48
    | index 8 is out of range for type 'unsigned char [8]'

    After the analysis, the cause was found to be the lack of the proper
    (re-)initialization of conj field.

    This patch addresses those OOB accesses by adding the proper
    initializations of the loop indices.

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.");
