"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-002345 advisory.

    The slhc_init function in drivers/net/slip/slhc.c in the Linux kernel through 4.2.3 does not ensure that
    certain slot numbers are valid, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer
    dereference and system crash) via a crafted PPPIOCSMAXCID ioctl call.

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.");
