Unity Linux 20.1050a / 20.1060a / 20.1070a Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2025-390028)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 267579

Synopsis

The Unity Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2025-390028 advisory.

 In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

 wireguard: allowedips: avoid unaligned 64-bit memory accesses

 On the parisc platform, the kernel issues kernel warnings because swap_endian() tries to load a 128-bit IPv6 address from an unaligned memory location:

 Kernel: unaligned access to 0x55f4688c in wg_allowedips_insert_v6+0x2c/0x80 [wireguard] (iir 0xf3010df) Kernel: unaligned access to 0x55f46884 in wg_allowedips_insert_v6+0x38/0x80 [wireguard] (iir 0xf2010dc)

 Avoid such unaligned memory accesses by instead using the get_unaligned_be64() helper macro.

 [Jason: replace src[8] in original patch with src+8]

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.

Solution

Update the affected kernel package.
