Unity Linux 20.1070a Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2025-989166)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 273293

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-2025-989166 advisory.

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

net: amd-xgbe: Fix skb data length underflow

There will be BUG_ON() triggered in include/linux/skbuff.h leading to intermittent kernel panic, when the skb length underflow is detected.

Fix this by dropping the packet if such length underflows are seen because of inconsistencies in the hardware descriptors.

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.
