"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-143027 advisory.

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

    ceph: bound xattr value length in __build_xattrs()

    __build_xattrs() decodes the MDS-supplied xattr blob one attribute at a
    time. For each attribute it reads a 32-bit name length, advances past the
    name bytes, reads a 32-bit value length, records the value pointer, and
    advances past the value bytes. The two length fields are read with
    ceph_decode_32_safe(), but the value bytes themselves are advanced over
    with a bare p += len and no ceph_decode_need() check that len bytes
    remain in the blob.

    For every attribute except the last, the next iteration's
    ceph_decode_32_safe() on the following name length implicitly verifies
    that the previous value did not run past the blob end. The final
    attribute has no successor, so its decoded value length is never checked
    against the blob bounds. A malicious or compromised metadata server can
    set the last attribute's value length larger than the bytes actually
    present in the blob.

    The blob is a dedicated kvmalloc() allocation sized to the wire length
    (ceph_buffer_new() in ceph_fill_inode()). __set_xattr() records the
    oversized length in xattr->val_len verbatim, and a later getxattr(2) runs
    memcpy(value, xattr->val, xattr->val_len) into a user-supplied buffer,
    copying bytes past the end of the allocation back to user space.

    Impact: a malicious metadata server discloses adjacent kernel heap bytes
    to a local user via getxattr(2) on a CephFS file. Add the missing
    ceph_decode_need() so an out-of-bounds value length on the final
    attribute fails the decode and returns -EIO instead of being stored.

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.");
