UTSA-2026-142313 advisory.

    A vulnerability was found in warmcat libwebsockets 4.5.0. Impacted is the function report_raw_cbor of the
    file lib/misc/lecp.c of the component LECP CBOR Recording. The manipulation results in out-of-bounds
    write. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used. The patch
    is identified as 1d44554a1bb262db63ff4e240152a9deecd99054. It is best practice to apply a patch to resolve
    this issue.

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.");
