The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2026-001745 advisory.

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernels KVM when attempting to set a SynIC IRQ. This issue makes it     possible for a misbehaving VMM to write to SYNIC/STIMER MSRs, causing a NULL pointer dereference. This     flaw allows an unprivileged local attacker on the host to issue specific ioctl calls, causing a kernel     oops condition that results in a denial of service.

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 CentOS Linux 8.5 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare CENTOS8.5:CLSA-2023:1690294029 advisory.

  - A vulnerability was found in the fs/inode.c:inode_init_owner() function logic of the LInux kernel that     allows local users to create files for the XFS file-system with an unintended group ownership and with     group execution and SGID permission bits set, in a scenario where a directory is SGID and belongs to a     certain group and is writable by a user who is not a member of this group. This can lead to excessive     permissions granted in case when they should not. This vulnerability is similar to the previous     CVE-2018-13405 and adds the missed fix for the XFS. (CVE-2021-4037)

  - A flaw was found in the KVM's AMD code for supporting the Secure Encrypted Virtualization-Encrypted State     (SEV-ES). A KVM guest using SEV-ES can trigger out-of-bounds reads and writes in the host kernel via a     malicious VMGEXIT for a string I/O instruction (for example, outs or ins) using the exit reason     SVM_EXIT_IOIO. This issue results in a crash of the entire system or a potential guest-to-host escape     scenario. (CVE-2021-4093)

  - A random memory access flaw was found in the Linux kernel's GPU i915 kernel driver functionality in the     way a user may run malicious code on the GPU. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system or     escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2022-0330)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's sound subsystem in the way a user triggers     concurrent calls of PCM hw_params. The hw_free ioctls or similar race condition happens inside ALSA PCM     for other ioctls. This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the     system. (CVE-2022-1048)

  - With shadow paging enabled, the INVPCID instruction results in a call to kvm_mmu_invpcid_gva. If INVPCID     is executed with CR0.PG=0, the invlpg callback is not set and the result is a NULL pointer dereference.

    (CVE-2022-1789)

  - In verity_target of dm-verity-target.c, there is a possible way to modify read-only files due to a missing     permission check. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges     needed.
