Unity Linux 20.1060e / 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2025-992437)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 280542

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-2025-992437 advisory.

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

 tty: serial: fsl_lpuart: disable dma rx/tx use flags in lpuart_dma_shutdown

 lpuart_dma_shutdown tears down lpuart dma, but lpuart_flush_buffer can still occur which in turn tries to access dma apis if lpuart_dma_tx_use flag is true. At this point since dma is torn down, these dma apis can abort. Set lpuart_dma_tx_use and the corresponding rx flag lpuart_dma_rx_use to false in lpuart_dma_shutdown so that dmas are not accessed after they are relinquished.

 Otherwise, when try to kill btattach, kernel may panic. This patch may fix this issue.
