Unity Linux 20.1050a Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-100309)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 336726

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-2026-100309 advisory.

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

scsi: target: iscsit: Free cmds before session free

Commands from recovery entries are freed after session has been closed.
That leads to use-after-free at command free or NPE with such call trace:

Time2Retain timer expired for SID: 1, cleaning up iSCSI session.
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000140 RIP: 0010:sbitmap_queue_clear+0x3a/0xa0 Call Trace:
target_release_cmd_kref+0xd1/0x1f0 [target_core_mod] transport_generic_free_cmd+0xd1/0x180 [target_core_mod] iscsit_free_cmd+0x53/0xd0 [iscsi_target_mod] iscsit_free_connection_recovery_entries+0x29d/0x320 [iscsi_target_mod] iscsit_close_session+0x13a/0x140 [iscsi_target_mod] iscsit_check_post_dataout+0x440/0x440 [iscsi_target_mod] call_timer_fn+0x24/0x140

Move cleanup of recovery enrties to before session freeing.

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.
