"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-124537 advisory.
Libevent is an event notification library. Prior to 2.1.13 and 2.2.2-alpha, the libevent evhttp parser in
http.c inconsistently handles duplicate Transfer-Encoding headers, comma-separated Transfer-Encoding
values, and bare line feeds in chunked framing. evhttp_find_header can select only the first header,
evhttp_check_transfer_encoding_ was absent so the previous whole-string comparison fails to recognize
valid lists ending in chunked, and evhttp_handle_chunked_read uses EVBUFFER_EOL_CRLF rather than
EVBUFFER_EOL_CRLF_STRICT, accepting bare LF chunk terminators. When libevent is deployed behind a proxy
that frames the same request differently, an unauthenticated remote attacker can desynchronize request
boundaries and smuggle a second request, potentially bypassing access controls or poisoning caches. 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.");
