"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-002901 advisory.

    The check_alu_op function in kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel through 4.4 allows local users to
    cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging
    incorrect sign extension.

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.");
