Unity Linux 20.1050e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-006693)
medium Nessus Plugin ID 305554
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-2026-006693 advisory.In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: output extra debug info if we failed to find an inline backref
[BUG] Syzbot reported several warning triggered inside lookup_inline_extent_backref().
[CAUSE] As usual, the reproducer doesn't reliably trigger locally here, but at least we know the WARN_ON() is triggered when an inline backref can not be found, and it can only be triggered when @insert is true. (I.e.
inserting a new inline backref, which means the backref should already exist)
[ENHANCEMENT] After the WARN_ON(), dump all the parameters and the extent tree leaf to help debug.
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
