Unity Linux 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2025-986416)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 268245

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-2025-986416 advisory.

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

iommu/vt-d: Fix potential memory leak in intel_setup_irq_remapping()

After commit e3beca48a45b (irqdomain/treewide: Keep firmware node unconditionally allocated). For tear down scenario, fn is only freed after fail to allocate ir_domain, though it also should be freed in case dmar_enable_qi returns error.

Besides free fn, irq_domain and ir_msi_domain need to be removed as well if intel_setup_irq_remapping fails to enable queued invalidation.

Improve the rewinding path by add out_free_ir_domain and out_free_fwnode lables per Baolu's suggestion.

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.
