Unity Linux 20.1070a Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2025-986457)

high Nessus Plugin ID 268339

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-2025-986457 advisory.

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

scsi: libfc: Fix use after free in fc_exch_abts_resp()

fc_exch_release(ep) will decrease the ep's reference count. When the reference count reaches zero, it is freed. But ep is still used in the following code, which will lead to a use after free.

Return after the fc_exch_release() call to avoid use after free.

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.
