Unity Linux 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2025-986304)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 268070

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-2025-986304 advisory.

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

 MIPS: Octeon: Add PCIe link status check

 The standard PCIe configuration read-write interface is used to access the configuration space of the peripheral PCIe devices of the mips processor after the PCIe link surprise down, it can generate kernel panic caused by Data bus error. So it is necessary to add PCIe link status check for system protection.
 When the PCIe link is down or in training, assigning a value of 0 to the configuration address can prevent read-write behavior to the configuration space of peripheral PCIe devices, thereby preventing kernel panic.

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.
