    James Wang has reproduced it stably on the latest 4.19 LTS.
    After some debugging, we finally proved that it's due to ftrace
    buffer out-of-bound access using a debug tool as follows:

    commit b220c049d519 (tracing: Check length before giving out
    the filter buffer) adds length check to protect trace data
    overflow introduced in 0fc1b09ff1ff, seems that this fix can't prevent
    overflow entirely, the length check should also take the sizeof
    entry->array[0] into account, since this array[0] is filled the
    length of trace data and occupy addtional space and risk overflow.

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
