Unity Linux 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2025-987627)

high Nessus Plugin ID 271036

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-2025-987627 advisory.

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

bpf, sockmap: Fix double uncharge the mem of sk_msg

If tcp_bpf_sendmsg is running during a tear down operation, psock may be freed.

tcp_bpf_sendmsg() tcp_bpf_send_verdict() sk_msg_return() tcp_bpf_sendmsg_redir() unlikely(!psock)) sk_msg_free()

The mem of msg has been uncharged in tcp_bpf_send_verdict() by sk_msg_return(), and would be uncharged by sk_msg_free() again. When psock is null, we can simply returning an error code, this would then trigger the sk_msg_free_nocharge in the error path of __SK_REDIRECT and would have the side effect of throwing an error up to user space. This would be a slight change in behavior from user side but would look the same as an error if the redirect on the socket threw an error.

This issue can cause the following info:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 2136 at net/ipv4/af_inet.c:155 inet_sock_destruct+0x13c/0x260 Call Trace:

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.
