Unity Linux 20.1070a Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2025-990600)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 274293

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-2025-990600 advisory.

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

 can: mcba_usb: properly check endpoint type

 Syzbot reported warning in usb_submit_urb() which is caused by wrong endpoint type. We should check that in endpoint is actually present to prevent this warning.

 Found pipes are now saved to struct mcba_priv and code uses them directly instead of making pipes in place.

 Fail log:

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.
