"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-016514 advisory.

    Vim is an open source command line text editor. Vim < v9.1.0647 has double free in src/alloc.c:616. When
    closing a window, the corresponding tagstack data will be cleared and freed. However a bit later, the
    quickfix list belonging to that window will also be cleared and if that quickfix list points to the same
    tagstack data, Vim will try to free it again, resulting in a double-free/use-after-free access exception.
    Impact is low since the user must intentionally execute vim with several non-default flags,
    but it may cause a crash of Vim. The issue has been fixed as of Vim patch v9.1.0647

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.");
