"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-104802 advisory.
In NLnet Labs Unbound up to and including version 1.25.1, when the validator builds the canonical RDATA
form for an RRSIG-covered PX/RP/MINFO/SOA RRset, it computes the address of the second embedded domain
name as 'datstart + dname_valid(datstart, ...)' and passes it straight to 'query_dname_tolower()' without
checking that a second name is actually present in the RDATA. The wire-format parser accepts multi-dname
RRs whose RDATA ends after the first name, so an attacker who runs a DNSSEC-signed authoritative server
can deliver a record with an absent second domain name (e.g. SOA record) and cause 'query_dname_tolower()'
to walk label-by-label through stale bytes in the per-worker 'env->scratch_buffer', past the end of that
heap allocation if 'msg-buffer-size' has been lowered from the default. This leads to heap buffer overflow
and on a release build the outcome relies heavily on the contents of the buffer tail and the adjacent heap
chunk.
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.");
