Unity Linux 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2025-990744)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 275082

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-2025-990744 advisory.

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

 scsi: core: Remove the /proc/scsi/${proc_name} directory earlier

 Remove the /proc/scsi/${proc_name} directory earlier to fix a race condition between unloading and reloading kernel modules. This fixes a bug introduced in 2009 by commit 77c019768f06 ([SCSI] fix /proc memory leak in the SCSI core).

 Fix the following kernel warning:
