"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-003406 advisory.

    The HMAC implementation (crypto/hmac.c) in the Linux kernel before 4.14.8 does not validate that the
    underlying cryptographic hash algorithm is unkeyed, allowing a local attacker able to use the AF_ALG-based
    hash interface (CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_HASH) and the SHA-3 hash algorithm (CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA3) to cause a
    kernel stack buffer overflow by executing a crafted sequence of system calls that encounter a missing
    SHA-3 initialization.

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.");
