Unity Linux 20.1060e / 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2025-992651)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 280256

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-2025-992651 advisory.

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

nfsd: map the EBADMSG to nfserr_io to avoid warning

Ext4 will throw -EBADMSG through ext4_readdir when a checksum error occurs, resulting in the following WARNING.

Fix it by mapping EBADMSG to nfserr_io.

nfsd_buffered_readdir iterate_dir // -EBADMSG -74 ext4_readdir // .iterate_shared ext4_dx_readdir ext4_htree_fill_tree htree_dirblock_to_tree ext4_read_dirblock
__ext4_read_dirblock ext4_dirblock_csum_verify warn_no_space_for_csum
__warn_no_space_for_csum return ERR_PTR(-EFSBADCRC) // -EBADMSG -74 nfserrno // WARNING
