"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-099549 advisory.

    pgjdbc is an open source postgresql JDBC Driver. From version 42.2.0 to before version 42.7.11, pgjdbc is
    vulnerable to a client-side denial of service during SCRAM-SHA-256 authentication. A malicious server can
    instruct the driver to perform SCRAM authentication with a very large iteration count. With a large enough
    value, the client spends an unbounded amount of CPU time inside PBKDF2 before authentication can fail. A
    single attempt ties up a CPU core. Repeated or concurrent attempts exhaust client CPU and can wedge
    connection pools. In affected versions, loginTimeout did not fully mitigate this problem. When
    loginTimeout expired, the caller could stop waiting, but the worker thread performing the connection
    attempt could continue running and burning CPU inside the SCRAM PBKDF2 computation. This issue has been
    patched in version 42.7.11.

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.");
