"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-106173 advisory.
Libevent is an event notification library. Prior to 2.1.13 and 2.2.2-alpha, libevent has a heap out-of-
bounds write in bufferevent_sock.c when bufferevent_socket_set_conn_address_ copies a kernel-supplied
AF_UNIX peer address into bufferevent_private.conn_address. Release builds compiled with NDEBUG disable
the EVUTIL_ASSERT length guard, and the evhttp accept path can pass a 110-byte sockaddr from accept() into
the 28-byte field. An unauthenticated local peer able to connect to an AF_UNIX listener can overwrite the
adjacent dns_request pointer and heap data, causing memory corruption with confidentiality, integrity, and
availability impact. 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.");
