Unity Linux 20.1060e / 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-011274)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 308825

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-2026-011274 advisory.

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

net/ieee802154: don't warn zero-sized raw_sendmsg()

syzbot is hitting skb_assert_len() warning at __dev_queue_xmit() [1], for PF_IEEE802154 socket's zero-sized raw_sendmsg() request is hitting
__dev_queue_xmit() with skb->len == 0.

Since PF_IEEE802154 socket's zero-sized raw_sendmsg() request was able to return 0, don't call __dev_queue_xmit() if packet length is 0.

---------- #include <sys/socket.h> #include <netinet/in.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { struct sockaddr_in addr = { .sin_family = AF_INET, .sin_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_LOOPBACK) };
struct iovec iov = { };
struct msghdr hdr = { .msg_name = &addr, .msg_namelen = sizeof(addr), .msg_iov = &iov, .msg_iovlen = 1 };
sendmsg(socket(PF_IEEE802154, SOCK_RAW, 0), &hdr, 0);
return 0;
}
----------

Note that this might be a sign that commit fd1894224407c484 (bpf: Don't redirect packets with invalid pkt_len) should be reverted, for skb->len == 0 was acceptable for at least PF_IEEE802154 socket.

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.
