Unity Linux 20.1050e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-101977)

high Nessus Plugin ID 337287

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-2026-101977 advisory.

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

RDMA/rxe: Fix null deref on srq->rq.queue after resize failure

A NULL pointer dereference can occur in rxe_srq_chk_attr() when ibv_modify_srq() is invoked twice in succession under certain error conditions. The first call may fail in rxe_queue_resize(), which leads rxe_srq_from_attr() to set srq->rq.queue = NULL. The second call then triggers a crash (null deref) when accessing srq->rq.queue->buf->index_mask.

Call Trace:
