"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-142496 advisory.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: addrconf: bail out of dad_failure when state is no longer POSTDAD
addrconf_dad_failure() transitions ifp->state from DAD to POSTDAD
via addrconf_dad_end(), which drops ifp->lock on return. The lock
is re-acquired after net_info_ratelimited(). A concurrent
ipv6_del_addr() can take the lock in that window, set ifp->state
to DEAD and run list_del_rcu(&ifp->if_list).
addrconf_dad_failure() then overwrites DEAD with ERRDAD at errdad:
and schedules a new dad_work. The work calls ipv6_del_addr()
again, hitting the already-poisoned list entry:
general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI
CPU: 4 PID: 217 Comm: kworker/4:1
Workqueue: ipv6_addrconf addrconf_dad_work
RIP: 0010:ipv6_del_addr+0xe9/0x280
RAX: dead000000000122
Call Trace:
addrconf_dad_stop+0x113/0x140
addrconf_dad_work+0x28c/0x430
process_one_work+0x1eb/0x3b0
worker_thread+0x4d/0x400
kthread+0x104/0x140
ret_from_fork+0x35/0x40
Fold the addrconf_dad_end() logic into addrconf_dad_failure() under
a single ifp->lock critical section. The STABLE_PRIVACY branch
temporarily drops ifp->lock around address regeneration, so at
lock_errdad: verify the state is still POSTDAD before transitioning
to ERRDAD; bail out otherwise to avoid overwriting a state set by
another path while the lock was released.
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.");
