critical Nessus Plugin ID 268864

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-2025-986727 advisory.

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

nvme-rdma: destroy cm id before destroy qp to avoid use after free

We should always destroy cm_id before destroy qp to avoid to get cma event after qp was destroyed, which may lead to use after free.
In RDMA connection establishment error flow, don't destroy qp in cm event handler.Just report cm_error to upper level, qp will be destroy in nvme_rdma_alloc_queue() after destroy cm id.

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.
