"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-102704 advisory.

    libssh2 through 1.11.1, fixed in commit 2dae302, contains an out-of-bounds heap read vulnerability in the
    sftp_symlink() function in src/sftp.c that allows a malicious SSH server or man-in-the-middle attacker to
    disclose heap memory contents or cause a crash by sending a crafted SSH_FXP_NAME response. Attackers can
    supply a link_len value larger than the actual packet data in SSH_FXP_NAME responses for SFTP READLINK and
    REALPATH operations, triggering a heap buffer over-read of up to target_len minus one bytes due to the
    missing validation of available packet buffer size before the memcpy operation.

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.");
