UTSA-2026-090401 advisory.

    The wordexp function in the GNU C Library (aka glibc) through 2.33 may crash or read arbitrary memory in
    parse_param (in posix/wordexp.c) when called with an untrusted, crafted pattern, potentially resulting in
    a denial of service or disclosure of information. This occurs because atoi was used but strtoul should
    have been used to ensure correct calculations.

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
