"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-104836 advisory.

    In NLnet Labs Unbound 1.7.0 up to and including 1.25.1, insufficient validation of the RRSIG.Labels field
    combined with premature cache writes during RFC 8198 aggressive NSEC processing leads to cache poisoning
    that permits a malicious actor controlling a single delegated zone to poison arbitrary sibling zones under
    NSEC-signed parent domains. A malicious actor with one registered domain under an NSEC-signed TLD can
    serve malicious insecure DNS responses for unrelated sibling domains (sharing the same parent zone).
    Arbitrary delegations that do not exist under the parent domain and are covered by the parent's NSEC chain
    can be brought into insecure existence by fraudulent wildcard DS records (less labels than expected,
    unknown algorithm) from the malicious sibling domain. This allows the malicious actor to inject insecure
    wildcard records for those delegations.

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.");
