Unity Linux 20.1050e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-006645)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 305491

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-2026-006645 advisory.

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

rds: sysctl: rds_tcp_{rcv,snd}buf: avoid using current->nsproxy

As mentioned in a previous commit of this series, using the 'net' structure via 'current' is not recommended for different reasons:

- Inconsistency: getting info from the reader's/writer's netns vs only from the opener's netns.

- current->nsproxy can be NULL in some cases, resulting in an 'Oops' (null-ptr-deref), e.g. when the current task is exiting, as spotted by syzbot [1] using acct(2).

The per-netns structure can be obtained from the table->data using container_of(), then the 'net' one can be retrieved from the listen socket (if available).

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.
