Unity Linux 20.1060e / 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-001816)

high Nessus Plugin ID 286602

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-2026-001816 advisory.

The netback driver in Xen, when using certain Linux versions that do not allow sleeping in softirq context, allows local guest administrators to cause a denial of service (scheduling while atomic error and host crash) via a malformed packet, which causes a mutex to be taken when trying to disable the interface.

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.
