Unity Linux 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2025-986871)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 269152

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-2025-986871 advisory.

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

iavf: Fix error handling in iavf_init_module()

The iavf_init_module() won't destroy workqueue when pci_register_driver() failed. Call destroy_workqueue() when pci_register_driver() failed to prevent the resource leak.

Similar to the handling of u132_hcd_init in commit f276e002793c (usb: u132-hcd: fix resource leak)

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.
