"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-143065 advisory.

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    sctp: auth: verify auth requirement when auth_chunk is NULL

    sctp_auth_chunk_verify() returns true unconditionally when
    chunk->auth_chunk is NULL, silently skipping authentication.
    This is incorrect when:

    1. skb_clone() failed in the BH receive path, leaving auth_chunk
       NULL. In sctp_endpoint_bh_rcv() asoc is NULL for new
       connections, so the early sctp_auth_recv_cid() check cannot
       catch this.

    2. No AUTH chunk precedes COOKIE-ECHO, so skb_clone() is never
       called and auth_chunk remains NULL.

    Fix by checking sctp_auth_recv_cid() when auth_chunk is NULL:
    if authentication is required, return false to drop the chunk;
    otherwise continue normally.

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.");
