Unity Linux 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-013207)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 308070

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-2026-013207 advisory.

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

 wifi: iwlwifi: dvm: Fix memcpy: detected field-spanning write backtrace

 A received TKIP key may be up to 32 bytes because it may contain MIC rx/tx keys too. These are not used by iwl and copying these over overflows the iwl_keyinfo.key field.

 Add a check to not copy more data to iwl_keyinfo.key then will fit.

 This fixes backtraces like this one:

 memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 32) of single field sta_cmd.key.key at drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/dvm/sta.c:1103 (size 16) WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 946 at drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/dvm/sta.c:1103 iwlagn_send_sta_key+0x375/0x390 [iwldvm] <snip> Hardware name: Dell Inc.

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.
