      Illegal instruction

    The illegal instruction turned out to be 'ldbrx' emitted for
    BPF_FROM_[L|B]E, which was only introduced in ISA v2.06. Guard use of
    the same and implement an alternative approach for older processors.

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.");
