"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-142353 advisory.

    Ghostscript before 10.08.0 contains a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the JPEG 2000 output
    adapter (base/sjpx_openjpeg.c) that allows attackers to cause memory corruption by supplying a crafted PDF
    containing a JPEG 2000 image with mismatched component subsampling factors. When image components declare
    different subsampling values, the non-samescale sub-byte-depth output path allocates a row buffer sized
    for packed output but writes a full byte per output column regardless of bit depth, overflowing the
    allocation and corrupting internal chunk-allocator metadata to achieve code execution.

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.");
