Unity Linux 20.1070a Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2025-989663)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 273151

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-2025-989663 advisory.

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

regulator: da9211: Use irq handler when ready

If the system does not come from reset (like when it is kexec()), the regulator might have an IRQ waiting for us.

If we enable the IRQ handler before its structures are ready, we crash.

This patch fixes:

[ 1.141839] Unable to handle kernel read from unreadable memory at virtual address 0000000000000078 [ 1.316096] Call trace:
[ 1.316101] blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x20/0xa8 [ 1.322757] cpu cpu0: dummy supplies not allowed for exclusive requests [ 1.327823] regulator_notifier_call_chain+0x1c/0x2c [ 1.327825] da9211_irq_handler+0x68/0xf8 [ 1.327829] irq_thread+0x11c/0x234 [ 1.327833] kthread+0x13c/0x154

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.
