Unity Linux 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2025-986800)

high Nessus Plugin ID 268305

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-2025-986800 advisory.

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

net: bonding: fix use-after-free after 802.3ad slave unbind

commit 0622cab0341c (bonding: fix 802.3ad aggregator reselection), resolve case, when there is several aggregation groups in the same bond.
bond_3ad_unbind_slave will invalidate (clear) aggregator when
__agg_active_ports return zero. So, ad_clear_agg can be executed even, when num_of_ports!=0. Than bond_3ad_unbind_slave can be executed again for, previously cleared aggregator. NOTE: at this time bond_3ad_unbind_slave will not update slave ports list, because lag_ports==NULL. So, here we got slave ports, pointing to freed aggregator memory.

Fix with checking actual number of ports in group (as was before commit 0622cab0341c (bonding: fix 802.3ad aggregator reselection) ), before ad_clear_agg().

The KASAN logs are as follows:
