"The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 25.10 / 26.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a
vulnerability as referenced in the USN-8495-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that the nghttp2 nghttpx proxy incorrectly handled HTTP/1.1 Upgrade requests that
    included a Content-Length header and body. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to perform HTTP
    request and response smuggling attacks against backend services.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
