medium Nessus Plugin ID 272443
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-2025-990365 advisory.In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: ipset: Fix overflow before widen in the bitmap_ip_create() function.
When first_ip is 0, last_ip is 0xFFFFFFFF, and netmask is 31, the value of an arithmetic expression 2 << (netmask - mask_bits - 1) is subject to overflow due to a failure casting operands to a larger data type before performing the arithmetic.
Note that it's harmless since the value will be checked at the next step.
Found by InfoTeCS on behalf of Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
