Unity Linux 20.1060e / 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-010698)

high Nessus Plugin ID 308540

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-2026-010698 advisory.

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

tracing/osnoise: Do not unregister events twice

Nicolas reported that using:

# trace-cmd record -e all -M 10 -p osnoise --poll

Resulted in the following kernel warning:

------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1217 at kernel/tracepoint.c:404 tracepoint_probe_unregister+0x280/0x370 [...] CPU: 0 PID: 1217 Comm: trace-cmd Not tainted 5.17.0-rc6-next-20220307-nico+ #19 RIP: 0010:tracepoint_probe_unregister+0x280/0x370 [...] CR2: 00007ff919b29497 CR3: 0000000109da4005 CR4: 0000000000170ef0 Call Trace:

---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---

The warning complains about an attempt to unregister an unregistered tracepoint.

This happens on trace-cmd because it first stops tracing, and then switches the tracer to nop. Which is equivalent to:

# cd /sys/kernel/tracing/ # echo osnoise > current_tracer # echo 0 > tracing_on # echo nop > current_tracer

The osnoise tracer stops the workload when no trace instance is actually collecting data. This can be caused both by disabling tracing or disabling the tracer itself.

To avoid unregistering events twice, use the existing trace_osnoise_callback_enabled variable to check if the events (and the workload) are actually active before trying to deactivate them.

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.
