"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the

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

    bpf, sockmap: fix integer overflow in bpf_msg_pop_data() bounds check

    start and len are u32, so

            u64 last = start + len;

    evaluates start + len in 32-bit and wraps before storing it in last.
    The bounds check

            if (start >= offset + l || last > msg->sg.size)
                    return -EINVAL;

    can then be passed with an out-of-range start/len, after which the pop
    loop runs off the end of the scatterlist and sk_msg_shift_left() calls
    put_page() on the empty msg->sg.end slot:

    Widen the addition with a (u64) cast so the bound is evaluated in
    64-bit and a len near U32_MAX no longer wraps below msg->sg.size.

    While here, change pop from int to u32. It counts bytes against the
    unsigned scatterlist lengths and can never be negative, so the signed
    type only invites sign-confusion in the pop loop.

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.");
