medium Nessus Plugin ID 308576

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-2026-011078 advisory.

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

RDMA/rxe: Fix NULL-ptr-deref in rxe_qp_do_cleanup() when socket create failed

There is a null-ptr-deref when mount.cifs over rdma:

BUG: KASAN: null-ptr-deref in rxe_qp_do_cleanup+0x2f3/0x360 [rdma_rxe] Read of size 8 at addr 0000000000000018 by task mount.cifs/3046

__x64_sys_mount+0x190/0x1d0 do_syscall_64+0x35/0x80 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x46/0xb0

The root cause of the issue is the socket create failed in rxe_qp_init_req().

So move the reset rxe_qp_do_cleanup() after the NULL ptr check.

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.
