"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-035848 advisory.

    NLnet Labs Unbound 1.6.2 up to and including version 1.25.0 has a denial of service vulnerability when
    compiled with DNSCrypt support ('--enable-dnscrypt'). A bad DNSCrypt query could underflow Unbound's
    DNSCrypt packet reading procedure that may lead to heap overflow. A malicious actor can exploit the
    vulnerability with a single bad DNSCrypt query that its decrypted plaintext consists entirely of '0x00'
    bytes and does not contain the expected '0x80' marker. Unbound would then start reading more bytes than
    necessary until it finds a non-'0x00' byte. Based on the underlying memory allocator and the memory
    layout, it could lead to heap overflow while reading followed by a crash. Likelihood of a crash is low,
    since it relies heavily on the underlying memory allocator and the memory layout. If the heap overflow
    does not happen, Unbound's later packet checks will deny the packet. Unbound 1.25.1 contains a patch with
    a fix to bound reading in the given buffer space.

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.");
