Unity Linux 20.1070a Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-005702)
medium Nessus Plugin ID 301059
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-2026-005702 advisory.In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: complete validation of user input
In my recent commit, I missed that do_replace() handlers use copy_from_sockptr() (which I fixed), followed by unsafe copy_from_sockptr_offset() calls.
In all functions, we can perform the @optlen validation before even calling xt_alloc_table_info() with the following check:
if ((u64)optlen < (u64)tmp.size + sizeof(tmp)) return -EINVAL;
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.See Also
