"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-007091 advisory.

    python-ldap is a lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP) client API for Python. In versions prior to
    3.4.5, the sanitization method `ldap.filter.escape_filter_chars` can be tricked to skip escaping of
    special characters when a crafted `list` or `dict` is supplied as the `assertion_value` parameter, and the
    non-default `escape_mode=1` is configured. The method `ldap.filter.escape_filter_chars` supports 3
    different escaping modes. `escape_mode=0` (default) and `escape_mode=2` happen to raise exceptions when a
    `list` or `dict` object is supplied as the `assertion_value` parameter. However, `escape_mode=1` computes
    without performing adequate logic to ensure a fully escaped return value. If an application relies on the
    vulnerable method in the `python-ldap` library to escape untrusted user input, an attacker might be able
    to abuse the vulnerability to launch ldap injection attacks which could potentially disclose or manipulate
    ldap data meant to be inaccessible to them. Version 3.4.5 fixes the issue by adding a type check at the
    start of the `ldap.filter.escape_filter_chars` method to raise an exception when the supplied
    `assertion_value` parameter is not of type `str`.

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.");
