Unity Linux 20.1070a Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-013047)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 307813

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-2026-013047 advisory.

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

Bluetooth: 6lowpan: reset link-local header on ipv6 recv path

Bluetooth 6lowpan.c netdev has header_ops, so it must set link-local header for RX skb, otherwise things crash, eg. with AF_PACKET SOCK_RAW

Add missing skb_reset_mac_header() for uncompressed ipv6 RX path.

For the compressed one, it is done in lowpan_header_decompress().

Log: (BlueZ 6lowpan-tester Client Recv Raw - Success)
------ kernel BUG at net/core/skbuff.c:212! Call Trace:

------

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.
