"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-003576 advisory.

    Jonathan Looney discovered that the TCP retransmission queue implementation in tcp_fragment in the Linux
    kernel could be fragmented when handling certain TCP Selective Acknowledgment (SACK) sequences. A remote
    attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. This has been fixed in stable kernel releases
    4.4.182, 4.9.182, 4.14.127, 4.19.52, 5.1.11, and is fixed in commit
    f070ef2ac66716357066b683fb0baf55f8191a2e.

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.");
