"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-017447 advisory.

    The Snappy frame decoder function doesn't restrict the chunk length which may lead to excessive memory
    usage. Beside this it also may buffer reserved skippable chunks until the whole chunk was received which
    may lead to excessive memory usage as well. This vulnerability can be triggered by supplying malicious
    input that decompresses to a very big size (via a network stream or a file) or by sending a huge skippable
    chunk.

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.");
