Unity Linux 20.1070a Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2025-989203)

high Nessus Plugin ID 273217

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-2025-989203 advisory.

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

drm/panfrost: Fix shrinker list corruption by madvise IOCTL

Calling madvise IOCTL twice on BO causes memory shrinker list corruption and crashes kernel because BO is already on the list and it's added to the list again, while BO should be removed from the list before it's re-added. Fix it.

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.
