"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-017348 advisory.

    A flaw was found in PostgreSQL involving the pg_cancel_backend role that signals background workers,
    including the logical replication launcher, autovacuum workers, and the autovacuum launcher. Successful
    exploitation requires a non-core extension with a less-resilient background worker and would affect that
    specific background worker only. This issue may allow a remote high privileged user to launch a denial of
    service (DoS) attack.

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.");
