Unity Linux 20.1050a / 20.1060a / 20.1070a Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2025-387673)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 267678

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-2025-387673 advisory.

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

caif_virtio: fix wrong pointer check in cfv_probe()

del_vqs() frees virtqueues, therefore cfv->vq_tx pointer should be checked for NULL before calling it, not cfv->vdev. Also the current implementation is redundant because the pointer cfv->vdev is dereferenced before it is checked for NULL.

Fix this by checking cfv->vq_tx for NULL instead of cfv->vdev before calling del_vqs().

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.
