Unity Linux 20.1060e / 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2025-992426)

high Nessus Plugin ID 280450

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-2025-992426 advisory.

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

HID: cp2112: prevent a buffer overflow in cp2112_xfer()

Smatch warnings:
drivers/hid/hid-cp2112.c:793 cp2112_xfer() error: __memcpy() 'data->block[1]' too small (33 vs 255) drivers/hid/hid-cp2112.c:793 cp2112_xfer() error: __memcpy() 'buf' too small (64 vs 255)

The 'read_length' variable is provided by 'data->block[0]' which comes from user and it(read_length) can take a value between 0-255. Add an upper bound to 'read_length' variable to prevent a buffer overflow in memcpy().

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.
