Unity Linux 20.1070a Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-005635)
medium Nessus Plugin ID 300880
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-2026-005635 advisory.In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/MCE/AMD: Use an u64 for bank_map
Thee maximum number of MCA banks is 64 (MAX_NR_BANKS), see
a0bc32b3cacf (x86/mce: Increase maximum number of banks to 64).
However, the bank_map which contains a bitfield of which banks to initialize is of type unsigned int and that overflows when those bit numbers are >= 32, leading to UBSAN complaining correctly:
UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mce/amd.c:1365:38 shift exponent 32 is too large for 32-bit type 'int'
Change the bank_map to a u64 and use the proper BIT_ULL() macro when modifying bits in there.
[ bp: Rewrite commit message. ]
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
