"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-131736 advisory.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: Fix slab-out-of-bounds read in hdr_delete_de()
Here is a BUG report from syzbot:
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in hdr_delete_de+0xe0/0x150 fs/ntfs3/index.c:806
Read of size 16842960 at addr ffff888079cc0600 by task syz-executor934/3631
Call Trace:
memmove+0x25/0x60 mm/kasan/shadow.c:54
hdr_delete_de+0xe0/0x150 fs/ntfs3/index.c:806
indx_delete_entry+0x74f/0x3670 fs/ntfs3/index.c:2193

ntfs_rename+0x41a/0xcb0 fs/ntfs3/namei.c:276
Before using the meta-data in struct INDEX_HDR, we need to
check index header valid or not. Otherwise, the corruptedi
(or malicious) fs image can cause out-of-bounds access which
could make kernel panic.
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.");
