"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-146633 advisory.

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

    openvswitch: only skb_tx_error() a packet we are about to drop

    queue_userspace_packet() borrows the packet skb -- it only copies it into
    a private netlink message (user_skb) and does not own it; on return
    do_execute_actions() keeps forwarding it through the flow's remaining
    actions. Its error path nevertheless calls skb_tx_error(skb), which via
    skb_zcopy_clear() does skb_shinfo(skb)->flags &= ~SKBFL_ALL_ZEROCOPY,
    stripping SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG from that live skb (skb_tx_error()'s kerneldoc
    says skb must be freed afterwards).

    For a MSG_ZEROCOPY skb carrying page-cache frags, SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG is
    what makes esp_input() skb_cow_data() before in-place AEAD; once it is
    stripped a later local ESP-in-UDP delivery decrypts in place over pages
    the sender does not own -- an unprivileged page-cache write (the
    Fragnesia primitive).
    do_execute_actions() ignores output_userspace()'s return value, so any
    action after a failed USERSPACE upcall inherits the stripped skb.

    Move the skb_tx_error() to the flow-miss drop path - the default
    branch of ovs_dp_process_packet()'s switch(error), before kfree_skb().

    The call has been here since commit 36d5fe6a0007 (core, nfqueue,
    openvswitch: Orphan frags in skb_zerocopy and handle errors) but was
    harmless until esp_input() began relying on SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG to gate
    in-place decrypt; only then did stripping it on a still-forwarded skb
    become a page-cache write primitive.

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.");
