Unity Linux 20.1070a Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-013101)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 307807

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-2026-013101 advisory.

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

 netfilter: nf_tables: release mutex after nft_gc_seq_end from abort path

 The commit mutex should not be released during the critical section between nft_gc_seq_begin() and nft_gc_seq_end(), otherwise, async GC worker could collect expired objects and get the released commit lock within the same GC sequence.

 nf_tables_module_autoload() temporarily releases the mutex to load module dependencies, then it goes back to replay the transaction again.
 Move it at the end of the abort phase after nft_gc_seq_end() is called.

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.
