Unity Linux 20.1050e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-100190)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 337062

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-2026-100190 advisory.

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

tunnels: load network headers after skb_cow() in iptunnel_pmtud_build_icmp[v6]()

Sashiko found that iptunnel_pmtud_build_icmp() and iptunnel_pmtud_build_icmpv6() were caching ip_hdr() and ipv6_hdr() before an skb_cow() call which can reallocate skb->head.

Fix this possible UAF by initializing the local variables after the skb_cow() call.

Remove skb_reset_network_header() calls which were not needed.

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.
