"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-101507 advisory.
A flaw was found in samba's pam_winbind. When mkhomedir is enabled, pam_winbind chowns the target
account's home directory without validating the path is not a critical system directory such as /. On
affected systems, accounts with / as their home directory (a common default for system accounts) can have
this triggered not only by root, but by a non-root user holding a narrow sudo delegation to run commands
as that account, causing ownership of / to change and resulting in severe denial of service (SSH, sudo,
and package-manager failures). The change does not grant write access to / (which ships with restrictive
0555 permissions on RHEL), so the impact is availability loss rather than further privilege escalation.
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.");
