"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-986158 advisory.

    A parsing issue with binary data in protobuf-java core and lite versions prior to 3.21.7, 3.20.3, 3.19.6
    and 3.16.3 can lead to a denial of service attack. Inputs containing multiple instances of non-repeated
    embedded messages with repeated or unknown fields causes objects to be converted back-n-forth between
    mutable and immutable forms, resulting in potentially long garbage collection pauses. We recommend
    updating to the versions mentioned above.

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.");
