"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-004960 advisory.

    A flaw was found in GnuTLS, which relies on libtasn1 for ASN.1 data processing. Due to an inefficient
    algorithm in libtasn1, decoding certain DER-encoded certificate data can take excessive time, leading to
    increased resource consumption. This flaw allows a remote attacker to send a specially crafted
    certificate, causing GnuTLS to become unresponsive or slow, resulting in a denial-of-service condition.

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.");
