"The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied
patch available.

  - MessagePack for C# is a MessagePack serializer for C#. Prior to 2.5.303 and 3.1.9, deserializing attacker-
    controlled MessagePack data as System.Object through PrimitiveObjectFormatter can cause excessive memory
    allocation. The formatter allocates an object[] from each declared array length before the configured
    object-graph depth limit rejects the input, while nested array headers can reuse the same trailing unread
    bytes to satisfy per-header length validation. A comparatively small payload can therefore keep many large
    arrays alive at once. When an attacker can submit such data repeatedly, the allocations can cause severe
    managed-heap pressure, excessive garbage collection, process termination, or loss of service. Exposure
    requires an application to deserialize untrusted data through the affected formatter path and permit
    repeated attacker-controlled submissions, such as a reachable ASP.NET Core SignalR hub method with an
    object parameter and AddMessagePackProtocol() enabled. This issue is fixed in versions 2.5.303 and 3.1.9.
    (CVE-2026-92707)
