Unity Linux 20.1070a Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2025-990204)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 272566

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-2025-990204 advisory.

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

 drm/lima: fix shared irq handling on driver remove

 lima uses a shared interrupt, so the interrupt handlers must be prepared to be called at any time. At driver removal time, the clocks are disabled early and the interrupts stay registered until the very end of the remove process due to the devm usage.
 This is potentially a bug as the interrupts access device registers which assumes clocks are enabled. A crash can be triggered by removing the driver in a kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ enabled.
 This patch frees the interrupts at each lima device finishing callback so that the handlers are already unregistered by the time we fully disable clocks.

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.
