high Nessus Plugin ID 275080

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-2025-990755 advisory.

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

capabilities: fix undefined behavior in bit shift for CAP_TO_MASK

Shifting signed 32-bit value by 31 bits is undefined, so changing significant bit to unsigned. The UBSAN warning calltrace like below:

UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in security/commoncap.c:1252:2 left shift of 1 by 31 places cannot be represented in type 'int' Call Trace:
