"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-141793 advisory.
A heap buffer overflow due to missing size checking in the property buffer when parsing PCF files in
libXfont2 ComputeScaledProperties() before libXfont2 before 2.0.8 could be used by attackers using
authenticated X clients to execute code within the X server.
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.");
