Unity Linux 20.1070a Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2025-989299)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 273601

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-2025-989299 advisory.

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

 perf/x86/amd: fix potential integer overflow on shift of a int

 The left shift of int 32 bit integer constant 1 is evaluated using 32 bit arithmetic and then passed as a 64 bit function argument. In the case where i is 32 or more this can lead to an overflow. Avoid this by shifting using the BIT_ULL macro instead.

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.
