"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-104617 advisory.

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

    tipc: prevent snt_unacked underflow on CONN_ACK

    tipc_sk_conn_proto_rcv() subtracts the peer-supplied connection ack count
    from the unsigned 16-bit send counter snt_unacked without checking that it
    does not exceed the number of messages actually outstanding:

            tsk->snt_unacked -= msg_conn_ack(hdr);

    msg_conn_ack() is read straight from a received CONN_MANAGER/CONN_ACK
    message. If the ack count is larger than snt_unacked, the subtraction
    wraps to a near-maximum value, leaving tsk_conn_cong() permanently true
    and starving the connection of further transmits.

    Validate the ACK count at the start of the CONN_ACK block and drop the
    message if it acknowledges more messages than are outstanding. A peer (or,
    for a local connection, the connected peer socket) can otherwise wedge a
    TIPC connection's send side by sending an oversized connection ack.

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.");
