Unity Linux 20.1050e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-102116)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 337306

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-2026-102116 advisory.

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

fbdev: core: fbcvt: avoid division by 0 in fb_cvt_hperiod()

In fb_find_mode_cvt(), iff mode->refresh somehow happens to be 0x80000000, cvt.f_refresh will become 0 when multiplying it by 2 due to overflow. It's then passed to fb_cvt_hperiod(), where it's used as a divider -- division by 0 will result in kernel oops. Add a sanity check for cvt.f_refresh to avoid such overflow...

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with the Svace static analysis tool.

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.
