Unity Linux 20.1050a Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-100303)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 336828

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-2026-100303 advisory.

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

nouveau/dpcd: return EBUSY for aux xfer if the device is asleep

If we have runtime suspended, and userspace wants to use /dev/drm_dp_* then just tell it the device is busy instead of crashing in the GSP code.

WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 565741 at drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nvkm/subdev/gsp/rm/r535/rpc.c:164 r535_gsp_msgq_wait+0x9a/0xb0 [nouveau] CPU: 2 UID: 0 PID: 565741 Comm: fwupd Not tainted 6.18.10-200.fc43.x86_64 #1 PREEMPT(lazy) Hardware name: LENOVO 20QTS0PQ00/20QTS0PQ00, BIOS N2OET65W (1.52 ) 08/05/2024 RIP: 0010:r535_gsp_msgq_wait+0x9a/0xb0 [nouveau]

This is a simple fix to get backported. We should probably engineer a proper power domain solution to wake up devices and keep them awake while fw updates are happening.

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.
