"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-002265 advisory.

    The n_tty_write function in drivers/tty/n_tty.c in the Linux kernel through 3.14.3 does not properly
    manage tty driver access in the LECHO & !OPOST case, which allows local users to cause a denial of
    service (memory corruption and system crash) or gain privileges by triggering a race condition involving
    read and write operations with long strings.

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.");
