"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-142298 advisory.

    A security vulnerability has been detected in GNU Binutils 2.47. Affected is the function
    elf_x86_64_common_section_index of the file bfd/elf64-x86-64.c of the component ELF Section Handler. The
    manipulation leads to null pointer dereference. The attack needs to be performed locally. The exploit has
    been disclosed publicly and may be used. Upgrading to version 2.48 is able to address this issue. The
    identifier of the patch is 7322e9bc30cb282575a701c307851fd3d66fee68. It is suggested to upgrade the
    affected component.

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.");
