"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-002209 advisory.

    Race condition in the rds_sendmsg function in net/rds/sendmsg.c in the Linux kernel before 4.3.3 allows
    local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have
    unspecified other impact by using a socket that was not properly bound.  NOTE: this vulnerability exists
    because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2015-6937.

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.");
