Unity Linux 20.1050e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-007584)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 307099

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-2026-007584 advisory.

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

 net: fec: remove .ndo_poll_controller to avoid deadlocks

 There is a deadlock issue found in sungem driver, please refer to the commit ac0a230f719b (eth: sungem: remove .ndo_poll_controller to avoid deadlocks). The root cause of the issue is that netpoll is in atomic context and disable_irq() is called by .ndo_poll_controller interface of sungem driver, however, disable_irq() might sleep. After analyzing the implementation of fec_poll_controller(), the fec driver should have the same issue. Due to the fec driver uses NAPI for TX completions, the .ndo_poll_controller is unnecessary to be implemented in the fec driver, so fec_poll_controller() can be safely removed.

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.
