Unity Linux 20.1050e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-006779)
medium Nessus Plugin ID 305523
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-2026-006779 advisory.In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
soc: fsl: qbman: Use raw spinlock for cgr_lock
smp_call_function always runs its callback in hard IRQ context, even on PREEMPT_RT, where spinlocks can sleep. So we need to use a raw spinlock for cgr_lock to ensure we aren't waiting on a sleeping task.
Although this bug has existed for a while, it was not apparent until commit ef2a8d5478b9 (net: dpaa: Adjust queue depth on rate change) which invokes smp_call_function_single via qman_update_cgr_safe every time a link goes up or down.
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
