"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-106160 advisory.
Libevent is an event notification library. Prior to 2.1.13 and 2.2.2-alpha, libevent processes chunked
HTTP trailers in http.c through evhttp_read_trailer and merges them into request headers. The fix
introduces evhttp_parse_headers_impl_ and a temporary trailer header list. An unauthenticated remote
attacker can place security-sensitive fields in trailers so that an upstream proxy and the libevent
application interpret different effective headers, enabling header smuggling, authorization bypass, proxy-
header spoofing, or cache poisoning. The fix parses trailers into a temporary header list and discards
them instead of merging them into req->input_headers. This issue is fixed in versions 2.1.13 and
2.2.2-alpha.
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.");
