"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-090253 advisory.

    A flaw was found in dnsmasq before version 2.83. When receiving a query, dnsmasq does not check for an
    existing pending request for the same name and forwards a new request. By default, a maximum of 150
    pending queries can be sent to upstream servers, so there can be at most 150 queries for the same name.
    This flaw allows an off-path attacker on the network to substantially reduce the number of attempts that
    it would have to perform to forge a reply and have it accepted by dnsmasq. This issue is mentioned in the
    Birthday Attacks section of RFC5452. If chained with CVE-2020-25684, the attack complexity of a
    successful attack is reduced. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data integrity.

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.");
