"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-130073 advisory.
An unauthenticated attacker can send an IMAP ID command with a very large number of parameters before
logging in, which causes memory and CPU usage to grow disproportionately. The login process can be
terminated by the out-of-memory handling, which also terminates all other connections handled by the same
process. This can cause degradation or denial of service for IMAP logins. Limit the number of connections
handled by a single imap-login process. This has a performance impact though. Update to non-vulnerable
version. No publicly available exploits are known.
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.");
