Unity Linux 20.1060a / 20.1070a Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-003859)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 288610

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-2026-003859 advisory.

The fix for the Linux kernel in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS for CVE-2019-14615 (The Linux kernel did not properly clear data structures on context switches for certain Intel graphics processors.) was discovered to be incomplete, meaning that in versions of the kernel before 4.15.0-91.92, an attacker could use this vulnerability to expose sensitive information.

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.
