Unity Linux 20.1050a Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-100514)

high Nessus Plugin ID 336850

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-2026-100514 advisory.

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

fuse: re-lock request before returning from fuse_ref_folio()

fuse_ref_folio() unlocks the request but does not re-lock it before returning. fuse_chan_abort() can end the request and the async end callback (eg fuse_writepage_free()) can free the args while the subsequent copy chain logic after fuse_ref_folio() accesses them, leading to use-after-free issues.

Fix this by locking the request in fuse_ref_folio() before returning.

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.
