"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-098837 advisory.

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    crypto: asymmetric_keys - prevent overflow in asymmetric_key_generate_id

    Use check_add_overflow() to guard against potential integer overflows
    when adding the binary blob lengths and the size of an asymmetric_key_id
    structure and return ERR_PTR(-EOVERFLOW) accordingly. This prevents a
    possible buffer overflow when copying data from potentially malicious
    X.509 certificate fields that can be arbitrarily large, such as ASN.1
    INTEGER serial numbers, issuer names, etc.

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.");
