Unity Linux 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2025-987655)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 270887

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-2025-987655 advisory.

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

 scsi: bnx2fc: Flush destroy_work queue before calling bnx2fc_interface_put()

 The bnx2fc_destroy() functions are removing the interface before calling destroy_work. This results multiple WARNings from sysfs_remove_group() as the controller rport device attributes are removed too early.

 Replace the fcoe_port's destroy_work queue. It's not needed.

 The problem is easily reproducible with the following steps.

 Example:
