Unity Linux 20.1050e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-100099)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 336424

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-2026-100099 advisory.

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

netfilter: nf_set_pipapo_avx2: fix initial map fill

If the first field doesn't cover the entire start map, then we must zero out the remainder, else we leak those bits into the next match round map.

The early fix was incomplete and did only fix up the generic C implementation.

A followup patch adds a test case to nft_concat_range.sh.

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.
