The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2025-986110 advisory.

    A vulnerability classified as problematic was found in libtiff 4.6.0. This vulnerability affects the     function PS_Lvl2page of the file tools/tiff2ps.c of the component tiff2ps. The manipulation leads to null     pointer dereference. It is possible to launch the attack on the local host. The complexity of an attack is     rather high. The exploitation appears to be difficult. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and     may be used. The name of the patch is 6ba36f159fd396ad11bf6b7874554197736ecc8b. It is recommended to apply     a patch to fix this issue. One of the maintainers explains, that [t]his error only occurs if     DEFER_STRILE_LOAD (defer-strile-load:BOOL=ON) or TIFFOpen( .. rD) option is used.
