"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-014286 advisory.

    GIMP XWD File Parsing Out-Of-Bounds Write Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows
    remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of GIMP. User interaction is required
    to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.

    The specific flaw exists within the parsing of XWD files. The issue results from the lack of proper
    validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a write past the end of an allocated buffer. An
    attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-
    CAN-28591.

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.");
