"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-016372 advisory.

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    crypto: algif_aead - Revert to operating out-of-place

    This mostly reverts commit 72548b093ee3 except for the copying of
    the associated data.

    There is no benefit in operating in-place in algif_aead since the
    source and destination come from different mappings.  Get rid of
    all the complexity added for in-place operation and just copy the
    AD directly.

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.");
