Unity Linux 20.1050a / 20.1060a / 20.1070a Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2025-391512)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 267900

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-2025-391512 advisory.

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

RDMA/cxgb4: Added NULL check for lookup_atid

The lookup_atid() function can return NULL if the ATID is invalid or does not exist in the identifier table, which could lead to dereferencing a null pointer without a check in the `act_establish()` and `act_open_rpl()` functions.
Add a NULL check to prevent null pointer dereferencing.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

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.
