"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-991297 advisory.

    LIBPNG is a reference library for use in applications that read, create, and manipulate PNG (Portable
    Network Graphics) raster image files. From version 1.6.0 to before 1.6.51, a heap buffer over-read
    vulnerability exists in libpng's png_write_image_8bit function when processing 8-bit images through the
    simplified write API with convert_to_8bit enabled. The vulnerability affects 8-bit grayscale+alpha,
    RGB/RGBA, and images with incomplete row data. A conditional guard incorrectly allows 8-bit input to enter
    code expecting 16-bit input, causing reads up to 2 bytes beyond allocated buffer boundaries. This issue
    has been patched in version 1.6.51.

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.");
