"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-110879 advisory.

    Improper handling of values for some Intel(R) Processors within Ring 0: Kernel, Hypervisor and Bare Metal
    OS may allow an escalation of privilege. Authorized adversary with a privileged user combined with a high
    complexity attack may enable escalation of privilege. This result may potentially occur via local access
    when attack requirements are present with special internal knowledge and require no user interaction. The
    potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (low), integrity (low) and availability (none) of
    the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (high), integrity (high) and
    availability (none) impacts.

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.");
