"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-006146 advisory.

    urllib3 is an HTTP client library for Python. urllib3's streaming API is designed for the efficient
    handling of large HTTP responses by reading the content in chunks, rather than loading the entire response
    body into memory at once. urllib3 can perform decoding or decompression based on the HTTP `Content-
    Encoding` header (e.g., `gzip`, `deflate`, `br`, or `zstd`). When using the streaming API, the library
    decompresses only the necessary bytes, enabling partial content consumption. Starting in version 1.22 and
    prior to version 2.6.3, for HTTP redirect responses, the library would read the entire response body to
    drain the connection and decompress the content unnecessarily. This decompression occurred even before any
    read methods were called, and configured read limits did not restrict the amount of decompressed data. As
    a result, there was no safeguard against decompression bombs. A malicious server could exploit this to
    trigger excessive resource consumption on the client. Applications and libraries are affected when they
    stream content from untrusted sources by setting `preload_content=False` when they do not disable
    redirects. Users should upgrade to at least urllib3 v2.6.3, in which the library does not decode content
    of redirect responses when `preload_content=False`. If upgrading is not immediately possible, disable
    redirects by setting `redirect=False` for requests to untrusted source.

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.");
