"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-102112 advisory.

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

    net: cadence: macb: Fix a possible deadlock in macb_halt_tx.

    There is a situation where after THALT is set high, TGO stays high as
    well. Because jiffies are never updated, as we are in a context with
    interrupts disabled, we never exit that loop and have a deadlock.

    That deadlock was noticed on a sama5d4 device that stayed locked for days.

    Use retries instead of jiffies so that the timeout really works and we do
    not have a deadlock anymore.

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.");
