"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-142518 advisory.

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

    net/packet: avoid fanout hook re-registration after unregister

    packet_set_ring() temporarily detaches a socket from packet delivery while
    reconfiguring its ring. It records the previous running state, clears
    po->num, unregisters the protocol hook when needed, drops po->bind_lock,
    and later restores po->num and re-registers the hook from the saved
    was_running value.

    That unlocked window can race with NETDEV_UNREGISTER. The notifier can
    observe the socket as not running, skip __unregister_prot_hook(), and
    invalidate the per-socket binding by setting po->ifindex to -1 and clearing
    po->prot_hook.dev. A one-member fanout group can still retain its shared
    fanout hook device pointer. When packet_set_ring() resumes, re-registering
    solely from the stale was_running state can re-add the fanout hook after
    the device has been unregistered.

    Treat po->ifindex == -1 as an invalidated binding after reacquiring
    po->bind_lock. This is distinct from ifindex 0, the normal
    unbound/wildcard state: ifindex -1 marks an existing device binding that
    was invalidated when the device was unregistered. Restore po->num as
    before, but do not re-register the hook if device unregister already
    detached the socket.

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.");
