"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2024-005586 advisory.

    `Bundler` is a package for managing application dependencies in Ruby. In `bundler` versions before 2.2.33,
    when working with untrusted and apparently harmless `Gemfile`'s, it is not expected that they lead to
    execution of external code, unless that's explicit in the ruby code inside the `Gemfile` itself. However,
    if the `Gemfile` includes `gem` entries that use the `git` option with invalid, but seemingly harmless,
    values with a leading dash, this can be false. To handle dependencies that come from a Git repository
    instead of a registry, Bundler uses various commands, such as `git clone`. These commands are being
    constructed using user input (e.g. the repository URL). When building the commands, Bundler versions
    before 2.2.33 correctly avoid Command Injection vulnerabilities by passing an array of arguments instead
    of a command string. However, there is the possibility that a user input starts with a dash (`-`) and is
    therefore treated as an optional argument instead of a positional one. This can lead to Code Execution
    because some of the commands have options that can be leveraged to run arbitrary executables. Since this
    value comes from the `Gemfile` file, it can contain any character, including a leading dash.

    To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker has to craft a directory containing a `Gemfile` file that
    declares a dependency that is located in a Git repository. This dependency has to have a Git URL in the
    form of `-u./payload`. This URL will be used to construct a Git clone command but will be interpreted as
    the upload-pack argument. Then this directory needs to be shared with the victim, who then needs to run a
    command that evaluates the Gemfile, such as `bundle lock`, inside.

    This vulnerability can lead to Arbitrary Code Execution, which could potentially lead to the takeover of
    the system. However, the exploitability is very low, because it requires a lot of user interaction.
    Bundler 2.2.33 has patched this problem by inserting `--` as an argument before any positional arguments
    to those Git commands that were affected by this issue. Regardless of whether users can upgrade or not,
    they should review any untrustred `Gemfile`'s before running any `bundler` commands that may read them,
    since they can contain arbitrary ruby code.

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.");
