"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-142365 advisory.

    The OCI delta stream parser read sizes as guint64 but passed them to GLib I/O and allocation functions
    expecting gsize (32 bits on 32-bit systems), causing undersized allocations while subsequent operations
    use the original 64-bit size, leading to heap buffer overflows. An attacker controlling an OCI registry
    can craft a delta stream that triggers this during flatpak install/update, potentially achieving code
    execution on 32-bit systems.

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.");
