Unity Linux 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-013160)
medium Nessus Plugin ID 308059
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-2026-013160 advisory.In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: Fix race condition in hidp_session_thread
There is a potential race condition in hidp_session_thread that may lead to use-after-free. For instance, the timer is active while hidp_del_timer is called in hidp_session_thread(). After hidp_session_put, then 'session' will be freed, causing kernel panic when hidp_idle_timeout is running.
The solution is to use del_timer_sync instead of del_timer.
Here is the call trace:
