Unity Linux 20.1050e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-100178)

high Nessus Plugin ID 336743

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-2026-100178 advisory.

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

Input: ims-pcu - check record size in ims_pcu_flash_firmware()

The len variable comes from the firmware and we generally do trust firmware, but it's always better to double check. If the len is too large it could result in memory corruption when we do memcpy(fragment->data, rec->data, len);

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.
