"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-131758 advisory.

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

    x86/fpu: Keep xfd_state in sync with MSR_IA32_XFD

    Commit 672365477ae8 (x86/fpu: Update XFD state where required) and
    commit 8bf26758ca96 (x86/fpu: Add XFD state to fpstate) introduced a
    per CPU variable xfd_state to keep the MSR_IA32_XFD value cached, in
    order to avoid unnecessary writes to the MSR.

    On CPU hotplug MSR_IA32_XFD is reset to the init_fpstate.xfd, which
    wipes out any stale state. But the per CPU cached xfd value is not
    reset, which brings them out of sync.

    As a consequence a subsequent xfd_update_state() might fail to update
    the MSR which in turn can result in XRSTOR raising a #NM in kernel
    space, which crashes the kernel.

    To fix this, introduce xfd_set_state() to write xfd_state together
    with MSR_IA32_XFD, and use it in all places that set MSR_IA32_XFD.

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.");
