"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-014276 advisory.

    jq is a command-line JSON processor. In versions 1.8.1 and below, functions jv_setpath(), jv_getpath(),
    and delpaths_sorted() in jq's src/jv_aux.c use unbounded recursion whose depth is controlled by the length
    of a caller-supplied path array, with no depth limit enforced. An attacker can supply a JSON document
    containing a flat array of ~65,000 integers (~200 KB) that, when used as a path argument by a trusted jq
    filter, exhausts the C call stack and crashes the process with a segmentation fault (SIGSEGV). This bypass
    works because the existing MAX_PARSING_DEPTH (10,000) limit only protects the JSON parser, not runtime
    path operations where arrays can be programmatically constructed to arbitrary lengths. The impact is
    denial of service (unrecoverable crash) affecting any application or service that processes untrusted JSON
    input through jq's setpath, getpath, or delpaths builtins. This issue has been addressed in commit
    fb59f1491058d58bdc3e8dd28f1773d1ac690a1f.

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.");
