"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-101985 advisory.

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

    perf: Fix __perf_event_overflow() vs perf_remove_from_context() race

    Make sure that __perf_event_overflow() runs with IRQs disabled for all
    possible callchains. Specifically the software events can end up running
    it with only preemption disabled.

    This opens up a race vs perf_event_exit_event() and friends that will go
    and free various things the overflow path expects to be present, like
    the BPF program.

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.");
