"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-101986 advisory.

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

    via_wdt: fix critical boot hang due to unnamed resource allocation

    The VIA watchdog driver uses allocate_resource() to reserve a MMIO
    region for the watchdog control register. However, the allocated
    resource was not given a name, which causes the kernel resource tree
    to contain an entry marked as <BAD> under /proc/iomem on x86
    platforms.

    During boot, this unnamed resource can lead to a critical hang because
    subsequent resource lookups and conflict checks fail to handle the
    invalid entry properly.

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.");
