medium Nessus Plugin ID 376604

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-2026-150458 advisory.

Information exposure vulnerability has been identified in Apache Kafka.

The NetworkClient component will output entire requests and responses information in the DEBUG log level in the logs. By default, the log level is set to INFO level. If the DEBUG level is enabled, the sensitive information will be exposed via the requests and responses output log. The entire lists of impacted requests and responses are:

* AlterConfigsRequest

* AlterUserScramCredentialsRequest

* ExpireDelegationTokenRequest

* IncrementalAlterConfigsRequest

* RenewDelegationTokenRequest

* SaslAuthenticateRequest

* createDelegationTokenResponse

* describeDelegationTokenResponse

* SaslAuthenticateResponse

This issue affects Apache Kafka: from any version supported the listed API above through v3.9.1, v4.0.0.
We advise the Kafka users to upgrade to v3.9.2, v4.0.1, or later to avoid this vulnerability.

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 kafka package.
