"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-104842 advisory.

    A symlink following vulnerability was found in the ABRT post-create event handler scripts in libreport.
    Event scripts write output files using shell redirections without the O_NOFOLLOW flag. If the target file
    is replaced with a symlink, the shell process running as root follows the symlink and writes content to
    the symlink target, allowing arbitrary file overwrites on the system.

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.");
