"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-106766 advisory.

    A flaw was found in libvirt. An unprivileged local user could exploit an integer overflow vulnerability in
    the NodeGetFreePages RPC handler. This flaw allows crafted values to bypass a size check, leading to an
    undersized memory buffer. Subsequently, real NUMA node data can overwrite this buffer. This heap buffer
    overflow can corrupt the root libvirt daemon's memory, potentially leading to a denial of service or local
    privilege escalation.

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.");
