Unity Linux 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2025-987638)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 271072

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-2025-987638 advisory.

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

 Bluetooth: btmtksdio: Fix kernel oops in btmtksdio_interrupt

 Fix the following kernel oops in btmtksdio_interrrupt

 [ 14.339134] btmtksdio_interrupt+0x28/0x54 [ 14.339139] process_sdio_pending_irqs+0x68/0x1a0 [ 14.339144] sdio_irq_work+0x40/0x70 [ 14.339154] process_one_work+0x184/0x39c [ 14.339160] worker_thread+0x228/0x3e8 [ 14.339168] kthread+0x148/0x3ac [ 14.339176] ret_from_fork+0x10/0x30

 That happened because hdev->power_on is already called before sdio_set_drvdata which btmtksdio_interrupt handler relies on is not properly set up.

 The details are shown as the below: hci_register_dev would run queue_work(hdev->req_workqueue, &hdev->power_on) as WQ_HIGHPRI workqueue_struct to complete the power-on sequeunce and thus hci_power_on may run before sdio_set_drvdata is done in btmtksdio_probe.

 The hci_dev_do_open in hci_power_on would initialize the device and enable the interrupt and thus it is possible that btmtksdio_interrupt is being called right before sdio_set_drvdata is filled out.

 When btmtksdio_interrupt is being called and sdio_set_drvdata is not filled , the kernel oops is going to happen because btmtksdio_interrupt access an uninitialized pointer.

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.
