"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-002420 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 (prevention of file creation) by leveraging the ability to write to a directory
    important to the victim, and creating a file with a crafted name that is associated with a specific 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.");
