"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-102135 advisory.

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

    netfilter: nft_ct: add seqadj extension for natted connections

    Sequence adjustment may be required for FTP traffic with PASV/EPSV modes.
    due to need to re-write packet payload (IP, port) on the ftp control
    connection. This can require changes to the TCP length and expected
    seq / ack_seq.

    The easiest way to reproduce this issue is with PASV mode.
    Example ruleset:
    table inet ftp_nat {
            ct helper ftp_helper {
                    type ftp protocol tcp
                    l3proto inet
            }

            chain prerouting {
                    type filter hook prerouting priority 0; policy accept;
                    tcp dport 21 ct state new ct helper set ftp_helper
            }
    }
    table ip nat {
            chain prerouting {
                    type nat hook prerouting priority -100; policy accept;
                    tcp dport 21 dnat ip prefix to ip daddr map {
                            192.168.100.1 : 192.168.13.2/32 }
            }

            chain postrouting {
                    type nat hook postrouting priority 100 ; policy accept;
                    tcp sport 21 snat ip prefix to ip saddr map {
                            192.168.13.2 : 192.168.100.1/32 }
            }
    }

    Note that the ftp helper gets assigned *after* the dnat setup.

    The inverse (nat after helper assign) is handled by an existing
    check in nf_nat_setup_info() and will not show the problem.

    Topoloy:

     +-------------------+     +----------------------------------+
     | FTP: 192.168.13.2 | <-> | NAT: 192.168.13.3, 192.168.100.1 |
     +-------------------+     +----------------------------------+
                                          |
                             +-----------------------+
                             | Client: 192.168.100.2 |
                             +-----------------------+

    ftp nat changes do not work as expected in this case:
    Connected to 192.168.100.1.
    [..]
    ftp> epsv
    EPSV/EPRT on IPv4 off.
    ftp> ls
    227 Entering passive mode (192,168,100,1,209,129).
    421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection.

    Kernel logs:
    Missing nfct_seqadj_ext_add() setup call
    WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 0 at net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_seqadj.c:41
    [..]
     __nf_nat_mangle_tcp_packet+0x100/0x160 [nf_nat]

     nf_confirm+0x122/0x2e0 [nf_conntrack]
     nf_hook_slow+0x3c/0xb0
     ..

    Fix this by adding the required extension when a conntrack helper is assigned
    to a connection that has a nat binding.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.
