Unity Linux 20.1050e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-099933)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 336712

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-2026-099933 advisory.

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

xfrm_user: fix info leak in build_report()

struct xfrm_user_report is a __u8 proto field followed by a struct xfrm_selector which means there is three empty bytes of padding, but the padding is never zeroed before copying to userspace. Fix that up by zeroing the structure before setting individual member variables.

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.
