Unity Linux 20.1050e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-099706)

high Nessus Plugin ID 336040

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-2026-099706 advisory.

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

USB: serial: digi_acceleport: fix write buffer corruption

The digi_write_inb_command() is supposed to wait for the write urb to become available or return an error, but instead it updates the transfer buffer and tries to resubmit the urb on timeout.

To make things worse, for commands like break control where no timeout is used, the driver would corrupt the urb immediately due to a broken jiffies comparison (on 32-bit machines this takes five minutes of uptime to trigger due to INITIAL_JIFFIES).

Fix this by adding the missing return on timeout and waiting indefinitely when no timeout has been specified as intended.

This issue was (sort of) flagged by Sashiko when reviewing an unrelated change to the driver.

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.
