Unity Linux 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2025-986277)

high Nessus Plugin ID 268412

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-2025-986277 advisory.

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

wifi: mwifiex: Fix oob check condition in mwifiex_process_rx_packet

Only skip the code path trying to access the rfc1042 headers when the buffer is too small, so the driver can still process packets without rfc1042 headers.

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.
