"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-109796 advisory.

    CoreDNS is a DNS server written in Go. In versions prior to 1.14.3, the gRPC, QUIC, DoH, and DoH3
    transport implementations incorrectly handle TSIG authentication. For gRPC and QUIC, the server checks
    whether the TSIG key name exists in the configuration but never calls dns.TsigVerify() to validate the
    HMAC. If the key name matches a configured key, the tsigStatus field remains nil and the tsig plugin
    treats the request as successfully authenticated regardless of the MAC value. For DoH and DoH3, the issue
    is more severe: the DoHWriter.TsigStatus() method unconditionally returns nil, and the server never
    inspects the TSIG record at all. Any request containing a TSIG record is treated as authenticated over DoH
    and DoH3, even if the key name is invalid and the MAC is arbitrary.

    An unauthenticated network attacker can exploit this to bypass TSIG-protected functionality such as
    AXFR/IXFR zone transfers, dynamic DNS updates, or other TSIG-gated plugin behavior. The DoH and DoH3
    variants have a lower exploitation bar because the attacker does not need to know a valid TSIG key name.

    This issue has been fixed in version 1.14.3. As a workaround, disable gRPC, QUIC, DoH, and DoH3 listeners
    where TSIG authentication is required, or restrict network-level access to affected transport ports to
    trusted sources only.

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.");
