"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-003394 advisory.
The ring_buffer_resize function in kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c in the profiling subsystem in the Linux
kernel before 4.6.1 mishandles certain integer calculations, which allows local users to gain privileges
by writing to the /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/buffer_size_kb file.
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.");
