      Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception: panic_on_oops

    occured when /sys/bus/ap/a[pq]mask was updated with a relative mask value
    (like +0x10-0x12,+60,-90) with one of the numeric values exceeding INT_MAX.

    The fix is simple: use unsigned long values for the internal variables. The
    correct checks are already in place in the function but a simple int for
    the internal variables was used with the possibility to 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
number.");
