Unity Linux 20.1070a Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-005632)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 300703

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-2026-005632 advisory.

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

iommu/vt-d: Clean up si_domain in the init_dmars() error path

A splat from kmem_cache_destroy() was seen with a kernel prior to commit ee2653bbe89d (iommu/vt-d: Remove domain and devinfo mempool) when there was a failure in init_dmars(), because the iommu_domain cache still had objects. While the mempool code is now gone, there still is a leak of the si_domain memory if init_dmars() fails. So clean up si_domain in the init_dmars() error path.

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.
