Unity Linux 20.1050e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-102131)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 337304

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-2026-102131 advisory.

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

net_sched: sch_sfq: reject invalid perturb period

Gerrard Tai reported that SFQ perturb_period has no range check yet, and this can be used to trigger a race condition fixed in a separate patch.

We want to make sure ctl->perturb_period * HZ will not overflow and is positive.

tc qd add dev lo root sfq perturb -10 # negative value : error Error: sch_sfq: invalid perturb period.

tc qd add dev lo root sfq perturb 1000000000 # too big : error Error: sch_sfq: invalid perturb period.

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.
