Unity Linux 20.1050e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-021601)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 315871

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-2026-021601 advisory.

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

 nvme-pci: fix race condition between reset and nvme_dev_disable()

 nvme_dev_disable() modifies the dev->online_queues field, therefore nvme_pci_update_nr_queues() should avoid racing against it, otherwise we could end up passing invalid values to blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues().

 WARNING: CPU: 39 PID: 61303 at drivers/pci/msi/api.c:347 pci_irq_get_affinity+0x187/0x210 Workqueue: nvme-reset-wq nvme_reset_work [nvme] RIP: 0010:pci_irq_get_affinity+0x187/0x210 Call Trace:
 <TASK> ? blk_mq_pci_map_queues+0x87/0x3c0 ? pci_irq_get_affinity+0x187/0x210 blk_mq_pci_map_queues+0x87/0x3c0 nvme_pci_map_queues+0x189/0x460 [nvme] blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues+0x2a/0x40 nvme_reset_work+0x1be/0x2a0 [nvme]

 Fix the bug by locking the shutdown_lock mutex before using dev->online_queues. Give up if nvme_dev_disable() is running or if it has been executed already.

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.
