Unity Linux 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2025-990878)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 274985

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-2025-990878 advisory.

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

 can: bcm: Clear bo->bcm_proc_read after remove_proc_entry().

 syzbot reported a warning in bcm_release(). [0]

 The blamed change fixed another warning that is triggered when connect() is issued again for a socket whose connect()ed device has been unregistered.

 However, if the socket is just close()d without the 2nd connect(), the remaining bo->bcm_proc_read triggers unnecessary remove_proc_entry() in bcm_release().

 Let's clear bo->bcm_proc_read after remove_proc_entry() in bcm_notify().
