Unity Linux 20.1060e / 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2025-992432)
medium Nessus Plugin ID 280521
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-2025-992432 advisory.In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tee: add overflow check in register_shm_helper()
With special lengths supplied by user space, register_shm_helper() has an integer overflow when calculating the number of pages covered by a supplied user space memory region.
This causes internal_get_user_pages_fast() a helper function of pin_user_pages_fast() to do a NULL pointer dereference:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000010 Modules linked in:
CPU: 1 PID: 173 Comm: optee_example_a Not tainted 5.19.0 #11 Hardware name: QEMU QEMU Virtual Machine, BIOS 0.0.0 02/06/2015 pc : internal_get_user_pages_fast+0x474/0xa80 Call trace:

__arm64_sys_ioctl+0xa8/0xec invoke_syscall+0x48/0x114
Fix this by adding an an explicit call to access_ok() in tee_shm_register_user_buf() to catch an invalid user space address early.
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.
