Unity Linux 20.1060e / 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-010902)

high Nessus Plugin ID 308941

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-2026-010902 advisory.

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

crypto: marvell/octeontx - prevent integer overflows

The code_length value comes from the firmware file. If your firmware is untrusted realistically there is probably very little you can do to protect yourself. Still we try to limit the damage as much as possible.
Also Smatch marks any data read from the filesystem as untrusted and prints warnings if it not capped correctly.

The code_length * 2 can overflow. The round_up(ucode_size, 16) + sizeof() expression can overflow too. Prevent these overflows.

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.
