"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-124530 advisory.
A flaw was found in libkcapi. When performing one-shot symmetric cipher operations on large inputs (over
64 KiB) in stateful modes such as Counter (CTR) or Cipher Block Chaining (CBC), the library improperly
reuses the Initialization Vector (IV) for each internal data chunk. A remote attacker could potentially
exploit this by making an application that uses libkcapi process specially crafted large inputs. This can
lead to a significant weakening of data confidentiality, as the repeated IV use can expose relationships
in encrypted plaintext, and may also affect data integrity by causing incorrect cryptographic processing.
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.");
