"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2023-000604 advisory.
An issue was discovered in GNU Emacs through 28.2. In ruby-mode.el, the ruby-find-library-file function
has a local command injection vulnerability. The ruby-find-library-file function is an interactive
function, and bound to C-c C-f. Inside the function, the external command gem is called through shell-
command-to-string, but the feature-name parameters are not escaped. Thus, malicious Ruby source files may
cause commands to be executed.
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.");
