"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-146978 advisory.

    A vulnerability exists in NGINX Plus and NGINX Open Source when a map directive uses regex matching and
    the root directive or access log format references the map's regex capture variables before referencing
    the map output variable. Alternatively, the same result could be achieved by using a non-cacheable
    variable in a string expression under certain conditions. An unauthenticated attacker along with
    conditions beyond their control can exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted HTTP requests. This may
    cause a heap buffer overflow in the NGINX worker process leading to a restart. Additionally, attackers can
    execute code on systems with Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) disabled or when the attacker can
    bypass ASLR.

    Impact:
    This vulnerability may allow remote attackers to cause a denial-of-service (DoS) on the NGINX system or to
    possibly trigger a code execution. There is no control plane exposure; this is a data plane issue only.

    Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.

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.");
