Unity Linux 20.1070a Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2025-989095)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 273288

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-2025-989095 advisory.

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

 mmc: jz4740: Apply DMA engine limits to maximum segment size

 Do what is done in other DMA-enabled MMC host drivers (cf. host/mmci.c) and limit the maximum segment size based on the DMA engine's capabilities. This is needed to avoid warnings like the following with CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG=y.
