Unity Linux 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-013161)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 308144

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-2026-013161 advisory.

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

ALSA: hda/ca0132: fixup buffer overrun at tuning_ctl_set()

tuning_ctl_set() might have buffer overrun at (X) if it didn't break from loop by matching (A).

static int tuning_ctl_set(...) { for (i = 0; i < TUNING_CTLS_COUNT; i++) (A) if (nid == ca0132_tuning_ctls[i].nid) break;

snd_hda_power_up(...);
(X) dspio_set_param(..., ca0132_tuning_ctls[i].mid, ...);
snd_hda_power_down(...); ^

return 1;
}

We will get below error by cppcheck

sound/pci/hda/patch_ca0132.c:4229:2: note: After for loop, i has value 12 for (i = 0; i < TUNING_CTLS_COUNT; i++) ^ sound/pci/hda/patch_ca0132.c:4234:43: note: Array index out of bounds dspio_set_param(codec, ca0132_tuning_ctls[i].mid, 0x20, ^ This patch cares non match case.

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.
