Unity Linux 20.1070a Security Update: python3.11 (UTSA-2026-141778)

high Nessus Plugin ID 369064

Synopsis

The Unity Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2026-141778 advisory.

The ipaddress module contained incorrect information about whether certain IPv4 and IPv6 addresses were designated as globally reachable or private. This affected the is_private and is_global properties of the ipaddress.IPv4Address, ipaddress.IPv4Network, ipaddress.IPv6Address, and ipaddress.IPv6Network classes, where values wouldnt be returned in accordance with the latest information from the IANA Special-Purpose Address Registries.

CPython 3.12.4 and 3.13.0a6 contain updated information from these registries and thus have the intended behavior.

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.

Solution

Update the affected python3.11 package.
