Unity Linux 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2025-990866)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 275120

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-2025-990866 advisory.

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

net: arc: fix the device for dma_map_single/dma_unmap_single

The ndev->dev and pdev->dev aren't the same device, use ndev->dev.parent which has dma_mask, ndev->dev.parent is just pdev->dev.
Or it would cause the following issue:

[ 39.933526] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 39.938414] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 501 at kernel/dma/mapping.c:149 dma_map_page_attrs+0x90/0x1f8

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.
