Unity Linux 20.1050e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-007622)

high Nessus Plugin ID 307093

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-2026-007622 advisory.

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

PCI/ASPM: Fix link state exit during switch upstream function removal

Before 456d8aa37d0f (PCI/ASPM: Disable ASPM on MFD function removal to avoid use-after-free), we would free the ASPM link only after the last function on the bus pertaining to the given link was removed.

That was too late. If function 0 is removed before sibling function, link->downstream would point to free'd memory after.

After above change, we freed the ASPM parent link state upon any function removal on the bus pertaining to a given link.

That is too early. If the link is to a PCIe switch with MFD on the upstream port, then removing functions other than 0 first would free a link which still remains parent_link to the remaining downstream ports.

The resulting GPFs are especially frequent during hot-unplug, because pciehp removes devices on the link bus in reverse order.

On that switch, function 0 is the virtual P2P bridge to the internal bus.
Free exactly when function 0 is removed -- before the parent link is obsolete, but after all subordinate links are gone.

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.
