"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-130401 advisory.

    GNU cpio contains a Path Traversal vulnerability in its tar archive extraction functionality. When
    extracting a tar archive in copy-in mode with the --no-absolute-filenames option, the extracted file name
    is normalized but the tar hard-link target is passed to the link_to_name function without equivalent
    sanitization before calling link function. A tar archive provided by an attacker, containing a hard-link
    entry whose linkname is set to an absolute path outside the extraction directory, can cause cpio to create
    a hard link to an existing file outside the intended extraction directory, breaking the expected guarantee
    of --no-absolute-filenames and allowing archive-controlled linkage to external files.

    This issue has been fixed in commit e2b9cbdd3354d2b1569b7390d1bc15c1930559ad

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.");
