Unity Linux 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2025-987088)

high Nessus Plugin ID 268602

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-2025-987088 advisory.

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

ipack: ipoctal: fix module reference leak

A reference to the carrier module was taken on every open but was only released once when the final reference to the tty struct was dropped.

Fix this by taking the module reference and initialising the tty driver data when installing the tty.

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.
