high Nessus Plugin ID 280364
Synopsis
The Unity Linux host is missing one or more security updates.Description
The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2025-992572 advisory.In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_tables: do not allow SET_ID to refer to another table
When doing lookups for sets on the same batch by using its ID, a set from a different table can be used.
Then, when the table is removed, a reference to the set may be kept after the set is freed, leading to a potential use-after-free.
When looking for sets by ID, use the table that was used for the lookup by name, and only return sets belonging to that same table.
This fixes CVE-2022-2586, also reported as ZDI-CAN-17470.
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.
