UTSA-2026-002472 advisory.

    The perf_swevent_init function in kernel/events/core.c in the Linux kernel before 3.8.9 uses an incorrect
    integer data type, which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted perf_event_open system 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.");
