"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2023-000318 advisory.

    Git is distributed revision control system. `git log` can display commits in an arbitrary format using its
    `--format` specifiers. This functionality is also exposed to `git archive` via the `export-subst`
    gitattribute. When processing the padding operators, there is a integer overflow in
    `pretty.c::format_and_pad_commit()` where a `size_t` is stored improperly as an `int`, and then added as
    an offset to a `memcpy()`. This overflow can be triggered directly by a user running a command which
    invokes the commit formatting machinery (e.g., `git log --format=...`). It may also be triggered
    indirectly through git archive via the export-subst mechanism, which expands format specifiers inside of
    files within the repository during a git archive. This integer overflow can result in arbitrary heap
    writes, which may result in arbitrary code execution. The problem has been patched in the versions
    published on 2023-01-17, going back to v2.30.7. Users are advised to upgrade. Users who are unable to
    upgrade should disable `git archive` in untrusted repositories. If you expose git archive via `git
    daemon`, disable it by running `git config --global daemon.uploadArch false`.

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.");
