Unity Linux 20.1050e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-007316)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 306861

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-2026-007316 advisory.

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

md/dm-raid: don't call md_reap_sync_thread() directly

Currently md_reap_sync_thread() is called from raid_message() directly without holding 'reconfig_mutex', this is definitely unsafe because md_reap_sync_thread() can change many fields that is protected by 'reconfig_mutex'.

However, hold 'reconfig_mutex' here is still problematic because this will cause deadlock, for example, commit 130443d60b1b (md: refactor idle/frozen_sync_thread() to fix deadlock).

Fix this problem by using stop_sync_thread() to unregister sync_thread, like md/raid did.

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.
