medium Nessus Plugin ID 272805
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-2025-989763 advisory.In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: remove clear SB_INLINECRYPT flag in default_options
In f2fs_remount, SB_INLINECRYPT flag will be clear and re-set.
If create new file or open file during this gap, these files will not use inlinecrypt. Worse case, it may lead to data corruption if wrappedkey_v0 is enable.
Thread A: Thread B:
-f2fs_remount -f2fs_file_open or f2fs_new_inode
-default_options <- clear SB_INLINECRYPT flag
-fscrypt_select_encryption_impl
-parse_options <- set SB_INLINECRYPT again
