"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-003164 advisory.

    Linux distributions that have not patched their long-term kernels with
    https://git.kernel.org/linus/a87938b2e246b81b4fb713edb371a9fa3c5c3c86 (committed on April 14, 2015). This
    kernel vulnerability was fixed in April 2015 by commit a87938b2e246b81b4fb713edb371a9fa3c5c3c86
    (backported to Linux 3.10.77 in May 2015), but it was not recognized as a security threat. With
    CONFIG_ARCH_BINFMT_ELF_RANDOMIZE_PIE enabled, and a normal top-down address allocation strategy,
    load_elf_binary() will attempt to map a PIE binary into an address range immediately below mm->mmap_base.
    Unfortunately, load_elf_ binary() does not take account of the need to allocate sufficient space for the
    entire binary which means that, while the first PT_LOAD segment is mapped below mm->mmap_base, the
    subsequent PT_LOAD segment(s) end up being mapped above mm->mmap_base into the are that is supposed to be
    the gap between the stack and the binary.

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.");
