Unity Linux 20.1050e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-102085)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 338593

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-2026-102085 advisory.

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

md/raid10: fix divide-by-zero in setup_geo() with zero far_copies

setup_geo() extracts near_copies (nc) and far_copies (fc) from the user-provided layout parameter without checking for zero. When fc=0 with the improved far set layout selected, 'geo->far_set_size = disks / fc' triggers a divide-by-zero.

Validate nc and fc immediately after extraction, returning -1 if either is zero.

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.
