Unity Linux 20.1070a Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2025-990383)

high Nessus Plugin ID 272417

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-2025-990383 advisory.

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

ovl: Filter invalid inodes with missing lookup function

Add a check to the ovl_dentry_weird() function to prevent the processing of directory inodes that lack the lookup function.
This is important because such inodes can cause errors in overlayfs when passed to the lowerstack.

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.
