Unity Linux 20.1070a Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2025-989001)
medium Nessus Plugin ID 273921
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-2025-989001 advisory.In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
block: don't delete queue kobject before its children
kobjects aren't supposed to be deleted before their child kobjects are deleted. Apparently this is usually benign; however, a WARN will be triggered if one of the child kobjects has a named attribute group:
sysfs group 'modes' not found for kobject 'crypto' WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at fs/sysfs/group.c:278 sysfs_remove_group+0x72/0x80 ...
Call Trace:
sysfs_remove_groups+0x29/0x40 fs/sysfs/group.c:312
__kobject_del+0x20/0x80 lib/kobject.c:611 kobject_cleanup+0xa4/0x140 lib/kobject.c:696 kobject_release lib/kobject.c:736 [inline] kref_put include/linux/kref.h:65 [inline] kobject_put+0x53/0x70 lib/kobject.c:753 blk_crypto_sysfs_unregister+0x10/0x20 block/blk-crypto-sysfs.c:159 blk_unregister_queue+0xb0/0x110 block/blk-sysfs.c:962 del_gendisk+0x117/0x250 block/genhd.c:610
Fix this by moving the kobject_del() and the corresponding kobject_uevent() to the correct place.
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.
