Unity Linux 20.1050a Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-100582)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 336852

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-2026-100582 advisory.

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

tunnels: do not assume transport header in iptunnel_pmtud_check_icmp()

In some cases, iptunnel_pmtud_check_icmp() can be called while skb transport header is not set.

This triggers an out-of-bound access, because (typeof(skb->transport_header))~0U is 65535.

Access the icmp header based on IPv4 network header, after making sure icmp->type is present in skb linear part.

Note that iptunnel_pmtud_check_icmpv6()) is fine.

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.
