"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-104955 advisory.

    websocket-driver is a WebSocket protocol handler with pluggable I/O. Prior to 0.8.1, when websocket-driver
    is used to implement a WebSocket server on top of a TCP server using WebSocket::Driver.server() or to
    complement a WebSocket client, a peer can make a single connection consume an unbounded amount of memory
    by sending an HTTP request or response with a never-ending list of headers. This can lead to the receiving
    process running out of memory. This issue is fixed in version 0.8.1.

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.");
