"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-003508 advisory.

    The Linux kernel, versions 3.9+, is vulnerable to a denial of service attack with low rates of specially
    modified packets targeting IP fragment re-assembly. An attacker may cause a denial of service condition by
    sending specially crafted IP fragments. Various vulnerabilities in IP fragmentation have been discovered
    and fixed over the years. The current vulnerability (CVE-2018-5391) became exploitable in the Linux kernel
    with the increase of the IP fragment reassembly queue size.

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.");
