Unity Linux 20.1060e / 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-010981)

high Nessus Plugin ID 308864

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-2026-010981 advisory.

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

block, bfq: fix uaf for bfqq in bfq_exit_icq_bfqq

Commit 64dc8c732f5c (block, bfq: fix possible uaf for 'bfqq->bic') will access 'bic->bfqq' in bic_set_bfqq(), however, bfq_exit_icq_bfqq() can free bfqq first, and then call bic_set_bfqq(), which will cause uaf.

Fix the problem by moving bfq_exit_bfqq() behind bic_set_bfqq().

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.
