"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-001047 advisory.
arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the Linux kernel through 4.6.3 mishandles the APICv on/off state, which allows guest
OS users to obtain direct APIC MSR access on the host OS, and consequently cause a denial of service (host
OS crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code on the host OS, via x2APIC mode.
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.");
