Unity Linux 20.1060e / 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2025-992314)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 280632

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-2025-992314 advisory.

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

 f2fs: fix to do sanity check on destination blkaddr during recovery

 As Wenqing Liu reported in bugzilla:

 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216456

 loop5: detected capacity change from 0 to 131072 F2FS-fs (loop5): recover_inode: ino = 6, name = hln, inline = 1 F2FS-fs (loop5): recover_data: ino = 6 (i_size: recover) err = 0 F2FS-fs (loop5): recover_inode: ino = 6, name = hln, inline = 1 F2FS-fs (loop5): recover_data: ino = 6 (i_size: recover) err = 0 F2FS-fs (loop5): recover_inode: ino = 6, name = hln, inline = 1 F2FS-fs (loop5): recover_data: ino = 6 (i_size: recover) err = 0 F2FS-fs (loop5): Bitmap was wrongly set, blk:5634

 If we enable CONFIG_F2FS_CHECK_FS config, it will trigger a kernel panic instead of warning.

 The root cause is: in fuzzed image, SIT table is inconsistent with inode mapping table, result in triggering such warning during SIT table update.

 This patch introduces a new flag DATA_GENERIC_ENHANCE_UPDATE, w/ this flag, data block recovery flow can check destination blkaddr's validation in SIT table, and skip f2fs_replace_block() to avoid inconsistent status.

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.
