"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-016765 advisory.

    In the ffghtb function in NASA CFITSIO 3.42, specially crafted images parsed via the library can cause a
    stack-based buffer overflow overwriting arbitrary data. An attacker can deliver an FIT image to trigger
    this vulnerability and potentially gain code execution.

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.");
