Unity Linux 20.1050e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-007588)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 307118

Synopsis

Description

The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2026-007588 advisory.

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

 nouveau: lock the client object tree.

 It appears the client object tree has no locking unless I've missed something else. Fix races around adding/removing client objects, mostly vram bar mappings.
