"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-107282 advisory.

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

    ata: libata-sff: Ensure that we cannot write outside the allocated buffer

    reveliofuzzing reported that a SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND ioctl with out_len
    set to 0xd42, SCSI command set to ATA_16 PASS-THROUGH, ATA command set to
    ATA_NOP, and protocol set to ATA_PROT_PIO, can cause ata_pio_sector() to
    write outside the allocated buffer, overwriting random memory.

    While a ATA device is supposed to abort a ATA_NOP command, there does seem
    to be a bug either in libata-sff or QEMU, where either this status is not
    set, or the status is cleared before read by ata_sff_hsm_move().
    Anyway, that is most likely a separate bug.

    Looking at __atapi_pio_bytes(), it already has a safety check to ensure
    that __atapi_pio_bytes() cannot write outside the allocated buffer.

    Add a similar check to ata_pio_sector(), such that also ata_pio_sector()
    cannot write outside the allocated buffer.

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.");
