UTSA-2026-001616 advisory.

    The check_stack_boundary function in kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel through 4.14.8 allows local
    users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact by
    leveraging mishandling of invalid variable stack read operations.

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.");
