Unity Linux 20.1050e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-005053)

high Nessus Plugin ID 296787

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-2026-005053 advisory.

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

 wifi: cfg80211: check A-MSDU format more carefully

 If it looks like there's another subframe in the A-MSDU but the header isn't fully there, we can end up reading data out of bounds, only to discard later. Make this a bit more careful and check if the subframe header can even be present.

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.
