UTSA-2026-002087 advisory.

    The CRC32C feature in the Btrfs implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.8-rc1 allows local users to
    cause a denial of service (extended runtime of kernel code) by creating many different files whose names
    are associated with the same CRC32C hash value.

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.");
