Unity Linux 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-000510)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 282082

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-2026-000510 advisory.

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

netfilter: nft_limit: avoid possible divide error in nft_limit_init

div_u64() divides u64 by u32.

nft_limit_init() wants to divide u64 by u64, use the appropriate math function (div64_u64)
