Unity Linux 20.1050e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-102074)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 338595

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-2026-102074 advisory.

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

net: qlogic/qede: fix potential out-of-bounds read in qede_tpa_cont() and qede_tpa_end()

The loops in 'qede_tpa_cont()' and 'qede_tpa_end()', iterate over 'cqe->len_list[]' using only a zero-length terminator as the stopping condition. If the terminator was missing or malformed, the loop could run past the end of the fixed-size array.

Add an explicit bound check using ARRAY_SIZE() in both loops to prevent a potential out-of-bounds access.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

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.
