Unity Linux 20.1050a Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-104550)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 339616

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-2026-104550 advisory.

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

ipvs: ensure inner headers in ICMP errors are in headroom

Sashiko points out that after stripping the outer headers with pskb_pull() we should ensure the inner IP headers in ICMP errors from tunnels are present in the skb headroom for functions like ipv4_update_pmtu(), icmp_send() and IP_VS_DBG().

Also, add more checks for the length of the inner headers.

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.
