Unity Linux 20.1050a Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-100583)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 336805

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-2026-100583 advisory.

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

ocfs2/dlm: fix off-by-one in dlm_match_regions() region comparison

The local-vs-remote region comparison loop uses '<=' instead of '<', causing it to read one entry past the valid range of qr_regions. The other loops in the same function correctly use '<'.

Fix the loop condition to use '<' for consistency and correctness.

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.
