"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-143106 advisory.

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

    netfilter: nf_conntrack_h323: check for zero length in DecodeQ931()

    In DecodeQ931(), the UserUserIE code path reads a 16-bit length from
    the packet, then decrements it by 1 to skip the protocol discriminator
    byte before passing it to DecodeH323_UserInformation(). If the encoded
    length is 0, the decrement wraps to -1, which is then passed as a
    large value to the decoder, leading to an out-of-bounds read.

    Add a check to ensure len is positive after the decrement.

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.");
