"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-142716 advisory.

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

    net: thunderbolt: Fix frags[] overflow by bounding frame_count

    tbnet_poll() assembles a multi-frame ThunderboltIP packet into one skb. The
    first frame goes into the skb linear area and every further frame is added as
    a page fragment.

            skb_add_rx_frag(skb, skb_shinfo(skb)->nr_frags,
                            page, hdr_size, frame_size,
                            TBNET_RX_PAGE_SIZE - hdr_size);

    A packet of frame_count frames therefore ends up with frame_count - 1
    fragments. tbnet_check_frame() only bounds the peer supplied frame_count to
    TBNET_RING_SIZE / 4 (64), which is far above MAX_SKB_FRAGS (17 by default). A
    peer that sends a packet of 19 or more small frames pushes nr_frags past
    MAX_SKB_FRAGS, so skb_add_rx_frag() writes past skb_shinfo()->frags[] and
    corrupts memory after the shared info.

    Tighten the start of packet bound to MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1 so a packet can never
    produce more fragments than frags[] can hold. This matches the recent skb
    frags overflow fixes in other receive paths, for example f0813bcd2d9d (net:
    wwan: t7xx: fix potential skb->frags overflow in RX path) and 600dc40554dc
    (net: usb: cdc-phonet: fix skb frags[] overflow in rx_complete()).

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.");
