Unity Linux 20.1050e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-006583)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 305365

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-2026-006583 advisory.

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

 net: annotate races around sk->sk_bound_dev_if

 UDP sendmsg() is lockless, and reads sk->sk_bound_dev_if while this field can be changed by another thread.

 Adds minimal annotations to avoid KCSAN splats for UDP.
 Following patches will add more annotations to potential lockless readers.

 BUG: KCSAN: data-race in __ip6_datagram_connect / udpv6_sendmsg

 I chose to not add Fixes: tag because race has minor consequences and stable teams busy enough.

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.
