UTSA-2026-000707 advisory.

    The keyctl_read_key function in security/keys/keyctl.c in the Linux kernel before 4.3.4 does not properly
    use a semaphore, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and
    system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted application that leverages a race
    condition between keyctl_revoke and keyctl_read calls.

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.");
