    TIPC bearer-related names including link names must be null-terminated
    strings. If a link name which is not null-terminated is passed through
    netlink, strstr() and similar functions can cause buffer overrun. This
    causes the above issue.

    This patch changes the nla_policy for bearer-related names from NLA_STRING
    to NLA_NUL_STRING. This resolves the issue by ensuring that only
    null-terminated strings are accepted as bearer-related names.

    syzbot reported similar uninit-value issue related to bearer names [2]. The
    root cause of this issue is that a non-null-terminated bearer name was
    passed. This patch also resolved 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.");
