  script_set_attribute(attribute:"description", value:
"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-104957 advisory.

    ### Impact

    If this library is used in tandem with the `permessage-deflate` extension, a
    WebSocket server or client can be made to accept messages that are larger than
    the configured maximum message size. This is because this limit is checked
    against the message frames' length headers, which give the size of the
    compressed data, not the size after decompression. This can lead to applications
    accepting larger messages than expected and exceeding their intended resource
    usage.

    ### Patches

    The issue has been patched in version 0.8.1, by checking the length of messages
    after they are processed by incoming extensions. All users should upgrade to
    this version.

    ### Workarounds

    No known workarounds exist.

    ### Acknowledgements

    This issue was discovered and reported by Pranjali Thakur, DepthFirst Security
    Research Team.

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.");
