Unity Linux 20.1050e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-099962)

high Nessus Plugin ID 336294

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-2026-099962 advisory.

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

RDMA/umem: Fix truncation for block sizes >= 4G

When the iommu is used the linearization of the mapping can give a single block that is very large split across multiple SG entries.

When __rdma_block_iter_next() reassembles the split SG entries it is overflowing the 32 bit stack values and computed the wrong DMA addresses for blocks after the truncation.

Use the right types to hold DMA addresses.

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.
