"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-102707 advisory.

    A vulnerability was found in Podman, Buildah, and CRI-O. A symlink traversal vulnerability in the
    containers/storage library can cause Podman, Buildah, and CRI-O to hang and result in a denial of service
    via OOM kill when running a malicious image using an automatically assigned user namespace
    (`--userns=auto` in Podman and Buildah). The containers/storage library will read /etc/passwd inside the
    container, but does not properly validate if that file is a symlink, which can be used to cause the
    library to read an arbitrary file on the host.

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.");
