An exploitable code execution vulnerability exists in the fsck_chk_orphan_node functionality of F2fs-Tools F2fs.Fsck 1.13. A specially crafted f2fs filesystem can cause a heap buffer overflow resulting in a code execution. An attacker can provide a malicious file to trigger this vulnerability.

The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2026-093571 advisory.

    An exploitable code execution vulnerability exists in the fsck_chk_orphan_node functionality of F2fs-Tools     F2fs.Fsck 1.13. A specially crafted f2fs filesystem can cause a heap buffer overflow resulting in a code     execution. An attacker can provide a malicious file to trigger this vulnerability.

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.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - An exploitable code execution vulnerability exists in the fsck_chk_orphan_node functionality of F2fs-Tools     F2fs.Fsck 1.13. A specially crafted f2fs filesystem can cause a heap buffer overflow resulting in a code     execution. An attacker can provide a malicious file to trigger this vulnerability. (CVE-2020-6108)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

  - An exploitable information disclosure vulnerability exists in the get_dnode_of_data functionality of F2fs-
    Tools F2fs.Fsck 1.13. A specially crafted f2fs filesystem can cause information disclosure resulting in a
    information disclosure. An attacker can provide a malicious file to trigger this vulnerability.
