Unity Linux 20.1050e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-100125)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 336193

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-2026-100125 advisory.

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

net: rds: clear i_sends on setup unwind

The RDS IB connection teardown path is written so it can run during partial startup and on repeated shutdown attempts. It uses NULL pointers to distinguish resources that are still owned from resources that have already been released.

When rds_ib_setup_qp() fails after allocating i_sends but before allocating i_recvs, the sends_out path frees i_sends without clearing the pointer. A later shutdown pass can still treat that stale pointer as a live send ring allocation.

Clear i_sends after vfree() in the error unwind path so the existing shutdown logic continues to use the correct ownership state.

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.
