Unity Linux 20.1050a Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-100557)

high Nessus Plugin ID 336112

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-2026-100557 advisory.

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

bpf: sockmap: fix tail fragment offset in bpf_msg_push_data

When bpf_msg_push_data() inserts data in the middle of a scatterlist entry, it splits the original entry into a left fragment and a right fragment.

The right fragment offset is page-local, but the code advances it with `start`, which is the message-global insertion point. For inserts into a non-first SG entry, this over-advances the offset and leaves the split layout inconsistent.

Advance the right fragment offset by the fragment-local delta, `start - offset`, which matches the length removed from the front of the original entry.

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.
