"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-003742 advisory.

    Jonathan Looney discovered that the Linux kernel default MSS is hard-coded to 48 bytes. This allows a
    remote peer to fragment TCP resend queues significantly more than if a larger MSS were enforced. 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 commits
    967c05aee439e6e5d7d805e195b3a20ef5c433d6 and 5f3e2bf008c2221478101ee72f5cb4654b9fc363.

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.");
