"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-993324 advisory.

    CUPS is a standards-based, open-source printing system, and `libcupsfilters` contains the code of the
    filters of the former `cups-filters` package as library functions to be used for the data format
    conversion tasks needed in Printer Applications. In CUPS-Filters versions up to and including 1.28.17 and
    libscupsfilters versions 2.0.0 through 2.1.1, CUPS-Filters's `imagetoraster` filter has an out of bounds
    read/write vulnerability in the processing of TIFF image files.  While the pixel buffer is allocated with
    the number of pixels times a pre-calculated bytes-per-pixel value, the function which processes these
    pixels is called with a size of the number of pixels times 3.  When suitable inputs are passed, the bytes-
    per-pixel value can be set to 1 and bytes outside of the buffer bounds get processed. In order to trigger
    the bug, an attacker must issue a print job with a crafted TIFF file, and pass appropriate print job
    options to control the bytes-per-pixel value of the output format. They must choose a printer
    configuration under which the `imagetoraster` filter or its C-function equivalent
    `cfFilterImageToRaster()` gets invoked. The vulnerability exists in both CUPS-Filters 1.x and the
    successor library libcupsfilters (CUPS-Filters 2.x). In CUPS-Filters 2.x, the vulnerable function is
    `_cfImageReadTIFF() in libcupsfilters`. When this function is invoked as part of
    `cfFilterImageToRaster()`, the caller passes a look-up-table during whose processing the out of bounds
    memory access happens. In CUPS-Filters 1.x, the equivalent functions are all found in the cups-filters
    repository, which is not split into subprojects yet, and the vulnerable code is in `_cupsImageReadTIFF()`,
    which is called through `cupsImageOpen()` from the `imagetoraster` tool. A patch is available in commit
    b69dfacec7f176281782e2f7ac44f04bf9633cfa.

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.");
