In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: qla2xxx: Initialize NVMe abort_work once at submission qla_nvme_fcp_abort() and qla_nvme_ls_abort() ran INIT_WORK() on priv->abort_work immediately before schedule_work(). INIT_WORK() reinitializes the work_struct, resetting its list head and clearing the pending bit. If an abort is issued more than once for the same command (for example, concurrent transport teardown and a timeout-driven abort), the second INIT_WORK() reinitializes a work item that is already queued, which can corrupt the workqueue list and lead to crashes or a looping worker. Initialize priv->abort_work once at command submission, next to the existing per-command spin_lock_init(&priv->cmd_lock), and leave only schedule_work() in the abort paths. schedule_work() already does nothing when the work item is still pending, so a repeated abort no longer disturbs an in-flight work item. The command is not returned to the transport until the final kref_put()/release callback runs after abort_work has completed, so the work item is idle before priv is reused and the single submission-time INIT_WORK() is safe.

The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2026-146694 advisory.

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

    scsi: qla2xxx: Initialize NVMe abort_work once at submission

    qla_nvme_fcp_abort() and qla_nvme_ls_abort() ran INIT_WORK() on     priv->abort_work immediately before schedule_work(). INIT_WORK()     reinitializes the work_struct, resetting its list head and clearing the     pending bit. If an abort is issued more than once for the same command     (for example, concurrent transport teardown and a timeout-driven abort),     the second INIT_WORK() reinitializes a work item that is already queued,     which can corrupt the workqueue list and lead to crashes or a looping     worker.

    Initialize priv->abort_work once at command submission, next to the     existing per-command spin_lock_init(&priv->cmd_lock), and leave only     schedule_work() in the abort paths. schedule_work() already does nothing     when the work item is still pending, so a repeated abort no longer     disturbs an in-flight work item. The command is not returned to the     transport until the final kref_put()/release callback runs after     abort_work has completed, so the work item is idle before priv is reused     and the single submission-time INIT_WORK() is safe.

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.
