"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-017430 advisory.

    The fix for bug 63362 present in Apache Tomcat 10.1.0-M1 to 10.1.0-M5, 10.0.0-M1 to 10.0.11, 9.0.40 to
    9.0.53 and 8.5.60 to 8.5.71 introduced a memory leak. The object introduced to collect metrics for HTTP
    upgrade connections was not released for WebSocket connections once the connection was closed. This
    created a memory leak that, over time, could lead to a denial of service via an OutOfMemoryError.

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.");
