Unity Linux 20.1060a / 20.1070a Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-002039)

high Nessus Plugin ID 286560

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-2026-002039 advisory.

arch/arm/kvm/arm.c in the Linux kernel before 3.10 on the ARM platform, when KVM is used, allows host OS users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference, OOPS, and host OS crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by omitting vCPU initialization before a KVM_GET_REG_LIST ioctl call.

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.
