medium Nessus Plugin ID 300347
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-2026-005581 advisory.In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/bnxt_re: wraparound mbox producer index
Driver is not handling the wraparound of the mbox producer index correctly.
Currently the wraparound happens once u32 max is reached.
Bit 31 of the producer index register is special and should be set only once for the first command. Because the producer index overflow setting bit31 after a long time, FW goes to initialization sequence and this causes FW hang.
Fix is to wraparound the mbox producer index once it reaches u16 max.
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.
