Unity Linux 20.1060e / 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2025-992172)

high Nessus Plugin ID 280321

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-2025-992172 advisory.

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

staging: vme_user: Fix possible UAF in tsi148_dma_list_add

Smatch report warning as follows:

drivers/staging/vme_user/vme_tsi148.c:1757 tsi148_dma_list_add() warn:
'&entry->list' not removed from list

In tsi148_dma_list_add(), the error path goto err_dma will not remove entry->list from list->entries, but entry will be freed, then list traversal may cause UAF.

Fix by removeing it from list->entries before free().

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.
