"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-104816 advisory.
In NLnet Labs Unbound 1.20.0 up to and including 1.25.1, when Unbound is configured with 'serve-expired:
yes' and 'serve-expired-client-timeout > discard-timeout > 0' (contrary to the suggested values), the
discard-timeout branch during the serve expired logic drops an aged client reply without performing the
correct accounting for the number of reply addresses for the query. Other identical branches outside of
serve expired perform the correct decrement. Since the counter is never decremented in such scenario, it
can reach the maximum limit and new clients for duplicate in-flight queries are silently dropped resulting
in degradation of resolution service. A malicious actor can exploit the vulnerability by querying the
resolver for a client-controlled slow-on-demand authoritative zone that can drive the counter past the
threshold. Shipped defaults for 'serve-expired-client-timeout: 1800' and 'discard-timeout: 1900' make the
branch unreachable.
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.");
