Unity Linux 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-000306)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 281974

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-2026-000306 advisory.

Four memory leaks in the nfp_flower_spawn_phy_reprs() function in drivers/net/ethernet/netronome/nfp/flower/main.c in the Linux kernel before 5.3.4 allow attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption), aka CID-8572cea1461a.

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.
