Unity Linux 20.1060e / 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2025-992498)

high Nessus Plugin ID 280636

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-2025-992498 advisory.

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

spmi: trace: fix stack-out-of-bound access in SPMI tracing functions

trace_spmi_write_begin() and trace_spmi_read_end() both call memcpy() with a length of len + 1. This leads to one extra byte being read beyond the end of the specified buffer. Fix this out-of-bound memory access by using a length of len instead.

Here is a KASAN log showing the issue:

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.
