Unity Linux 20.1050e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-100180)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 336881

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-2026-100180 advisory.

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

 wireguard: receive: annotate data-race around receiving_counter.counter

 Syzkaller with KCSAN identified a data-race issue when accessing keypair->receiving_counter.counter. Use READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() annotations to mark the data race as intentional.

 BUG: KCSAN: data-race in wg_packet_decrypt_worker / wg_packet_rx_poll

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.
