Unity Linux 20.1060e / 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2025-992240)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 280605

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-2025-992240 advisory.

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

 bpf: make sure skb->len != 0 when redirecting to a tunneling device

 syzkaller managed to trigger another case where skb->len == 0 when we enter __dev_queue_xmit:

 WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 2470 at include/linux/skbuff.h:2576 skb_assert_len include/linux/skbuff.h:2576 [inline] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 2470 at include/linux/skbuff.h:2576 __dev_queue_xmit+0x2069/0x35e0 net/core/dev.c:4295

 The reproducer doesn't really reproduce outside of syzkaller environment, so I'm taking a guess here. It looks like we do generate correct ETH_HLEN-sized packet, but we redirect the packet to the tunneling device. Before we do so, we
 __skb_pull l2 header and arrive again at skb->len == 0.
 Doesn't seem like we can do anything better than having an explicit check after __skb_pull?

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.
