Unity Linux 20.1060e / 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2025-992626)

high Nessus Plugin ID 280418

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-2025-992626 advisory.

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

ocfs2: validate l_tree_depth to avoid out-of-bounds access

The l_tree_depth field is 16-bit (__le16), but the actual maximum depth is limited to OCFS2_MAX_PATH_DEPTH.

Add a check to prevent out-of-bounds access if l_tree_depth has an invalid value, which may occur when reading from a corrupted mounted disk [1].

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.
