"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-100189 advisory.

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

    SUNRPC: auth_gss: fix memory leaks in XDR decoding error paths

    The gssx_dec_ctx(), gssx_dec_status(), and gssx_dec_name()
    functions allocate memory via gssx_dec_buffer(), which calls
    kmemdup(). When a subsequent decode operation fails, these
    functions return immediately without freeing previously
    allocated buffers, causing memory leaks.

    The leak in gssx_dec_ctx() is particularly relevant because
    the caller (gssp_accept_sec_context_upcall) initializes several
    buffer length fields to non-zero values, resulting in memory
    allocation:

        struct gssx_ctx rctxh = {
            .exported_context_token.len = GSSX_max_output_handle_sz,
            .mech.len = GSS_OID_MAX_LEN,
            .src_name.display_name.len = GSSX_max_princ_sz,
            .targ_name.display_name.len = GSSX_max_princ_sz
        };

    If, for example, gssx_dec_name() succeeds for src_name but
    fails for targ_name, the memory allocated for
    exported_context_token, mech, and src_name.display_name
    remains unreferenced and cannot be reclaimed.

    Add error handling with goto-based cleanup to free any
    previously allocated buffers before returning an error.

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.");
