"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-004962 advisory.

    A vulnerability was found in systemd-coredump. This flaw allows an attacker to force a SUID process to
    crash and replace it with a non-SUID binary to access the original's privileged process coredump, allowing
    the attacker to read sensitive data, such as /etc/shadow content, loaded by the original process.

    A SUID binary or process has a special type of permission, which allows the process to run with the file
    owner's permissions, regardless of the user executing the binary. This allows the process to access more
    restricted data than unprivileged users or processes would be able to. An attacker can leverage this flaw
    by forcing a SUID process to crash and force the Linux kernel to recycle the process PID before systemd-
    coredump can analyze the /proc/pid/auxv file. If the attacker wins the race condition, they gain access to
    the original's SUID process coredump file. They can read sensitive content loaded into memory by the
    original binary, affecting data confidentiality.

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.");
