"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-104834 advisory.

    FreeRDP before 3.29.0 contains a client-side heap use-after-free in the async update message proxy for
    WINDOW_ICON_ORDER when AsyncUpdate is enabled (e.g. xfreerdp /async-update). In
    update_message_WindowIcon() a shallow CopyMemory() overwrites a freshly allocated lParam->iconInfo with
    the parser-owned windowIcon->iconInfo pointer. After the parser callback returns,
    update_recv_window_info_order() frees window_icon.iconInfo, but the queued async message still retains and
    later dispatches that stale pointer. A malicious or compromised RDP server sending a crafted RAIL Window
    Alternate Secondary Order with WINDOW_ORDER_ICON can trigger use-after-free, leading to memory corruption
    and client crash.

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.");
