"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-017433 advisory.

    A flaw was found in the ptp4l program of the linuxptp package. A missing length check when forwarding a
    PTP message between ports allows a remote attacker to cause an information leak, crash, or potentially
    remote code execution. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity
    as well as system availability. This flaw affects linuxptp versions before 3.1.1, before 2.0.1, before
    1.9.3, before 1.8.1, before 1.7.1, before 1.6.1 and before 1.5.1.

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.");
