Unity Linux 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-013174)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 308022

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-2026-013174 advisory.

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

net: ipv4: fix one memleak in __inet_del_ifa()

I got the below warning when do fuzzing test:
unregister_netdevice: waiting for bond0 to become free. Usage count = 2

It can be repoduced via:

ip link add bond0 type bond sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.bond0.promote_secondaries=1 ip addr add 4.117.174.103/0 scope 0x40 dev bond0 ip addr add 192.168.100.111/255.255.255.254 scope 0 dev bond0 ip addr add 0.0.0.4/0 scope 0x40 secondary dev bond0 ip addr del 4.117.174.103/0 scope 0x40 dev bond0 ip link delete bond0 type bond

In this reproduction test case, an incorrect 'last_prim' is found in
__inet_del_ifa(), as a result, the secondary address(0.0.0.4/0 scope 0x40) is lost. The memory of the secondary address is leaked and the reference of in_device and net_device is leaked.

Fix this problem:
Look for 'last_prim' starting at location of the deleted IP and inserting the promoted IP into the location of 'last_prim'.

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.
