"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-104808 advisory.
A flaw was found in iperf3. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted control-
channel JSON with oversized numeric parameters, such as `parallel` and `len`, which are not properly
validated by the server. This improper input validation can lead to excessive stream and thread creation,
as well as large buffer allocations, causing resource exhaustion. Consequently, this can result in a
Denial of Service (DoS) on the affected iperf3 server.
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.");
