UTSA-2026-093642 advisory.

    GNU Bison before 3.7.1 has a use-after-free in _obstack_free in lib/obstack.c (called from gram_lex) when
    a '\0' byte is encountered. NOTE: there is a risk only if Bison is used with untrusted input, and the
    observed bug happens to cause unsafe behavior with a specific compiler/architecture. The bug report was
    intended to show that a crash may occur in Bison itself, not that a crash may occur in code that is
    generated by Bison.

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.");
