Unity Linux 20.1050a Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-100586)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 336671

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-2026-100586 advisory.

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

net: ethernet: cortina: Make RX SKB per-port

The SKB used to assemble packets from fragments in gmac_rx() is static local, but the Gemini has two ethernet ports, meaning there can be races between the ports on a bad day if a device is using both.

Make the RX SKB a per-port variable and carry it over between invocations in the port struct instead.

Zero the pointer once we call napi_gro_frags(), on error (after calling napi_free_frags()) or if the port is stopped.

Zero it in some place where not strictly necessary just to emphasize what is going on.

This was found by Sashiko during normal patch review.

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.
