Unity Linux 20.1060e / 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2025-992299)
medium Nessus Plugin ID 280513
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-2025-992299 advisory.In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Input: iforce - wake up after clearing IFORCE_XMIT_RUNNING flag
syzbot is reporting hung task at __input_unregister_device() [1], for iforce_close() waiting at wait_event_interruptible() with dev->mutex held is blocking input_disconnect_device() from __input_unregister_device().
It seems that the cause is simply that commit c2b27ef672992a20 (Input:
iforce - wait for command completion when closing the device) forgot to call wake_up() after clear_bit().
Fix this problem by introducing a helper that calls clear_bit() followed by wake_up_all().
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.See Also
