"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-001949 advisory.

    The Linux kernel before 4.4.1 allows local users to bypass file-descriptor limits and cause a denial of
    service (memory consumption) by sending each descriptor over a UNIX socket before closing it, related to
    net/unix/af_unix.c and net/unix/garbage.c.

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.");
