"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-003172 advisory.

    A use-after-free vulnerability was found in network namespaces code affecting the Linux kernel before
    4.14.11. The function get_net_ns_by_id() in net/core/net_namespace.c does not check for the net::count
    value after it has found a peer network in netns_ids idr, which could lead to double free and memory
    corruption. This vulnerability could allow an unprivileged local user to induce kernel memory corruption
    on the system, leading to a crash. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully
    ruled out, although it is thought to be unlikely.

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.");
