Unity Linux 20.1050a Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-100383)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 336862

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-2026-100383 advisory.

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

rapidio: replace rio_free_net() with kfree() in rio_scan_alloc_net()

When idtab allocation fails, net is not registered with rio_add_net() yet, so kfree(net) is sufficient to release the memory. Set mport->net to NULL to avoid dangling pointer.

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.
