Unity Linux 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2025-986853)

low Nessus Plugin ID 268776

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-2025-986853 advisory.

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

arm64: topology: fix possible overflow in amu_fie_setup()

cpufreq_get_hw_max_freq() returns max frequency in kHz as *unsigned int*, while freq_inv_set_max_ratio() gets passed this frequency in Hz as 'u64'.
Multiplying max frequency by 1000 can potentially result in overflow -- multiplying by 1000ULL instead should avoid that...

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with the SVACE static analysis tool.

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.
