Unity Linux 20.1050e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-006673)

high Nessus Plugin ID 305504

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-2026-006673 advisory.

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

 e100: Fix possible use after free in e100_xmit_prepare

 In e100_xmit_prepare(), if we can't map the skb, then return -ENOMEM, so e100_xmit_frame() will return NETDEV_TX_BUSY and the upper layer will resend the skb. But the skb is already freed, which will cause UAF bug when the upper layer resends the skb.

 Remove the harmful free.

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.
