"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2023-000319 advisory.

    Git is distributed revision control system. gitattributes are a mechanism to allow defining attributes for
    paths. These attributes can be defined by adding a `.gitattributes` file to the repository, which contains
    a set of file patterns and the attributes that should be set for paths matching this pattern. When parsing
    gitattributes, multiple integer overflows can occur when there is a huge number of path patterns, a huge
    number of attributes for a single pattern, or when the declared attribute names are huge. These overflows
    can be triggered via a crafted `.gitattributes` file that may be part of the commit history. Git silently
    splits lines longer than 2KB when parsing gitattributes from a file, but not when parsing them from the
    index. Consequentially, the failure mode depends on whether the file exists in the working tree, the index
    or both. This integer overflow can result in arbitrary heap reads and writes, which may result in remote
    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. There are no known workarounds for this issue.

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.");
