Unity Linux 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-005473)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 300325

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-2026-005473 advisory.

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

erofs: fix order >= MAX_ORDER warning due to crafted negative i_size

As syzbot reported [1], the root cause is that i_size field is a signed type, and negative i_size is also less than EROFS_BLKSIZ.
As a consequence, it's handled as fast symlink unexpectedly.

Let's fall back to the generic path to deal with such unusual i_size.

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.
