"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-141774 advisory.

    A vulnerability was found in libXpm due to a boundary condition within the XpmCreateXpmImageFromBuffer()
    function. This flaw allows a local attacker to trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read the contents
    of memory on the system.

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.");
