Unity Linux 20.1050a Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-053309)

high Nessus Plugin ID 343135

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-2026-053309 advisory.

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

NFSv4/pNFS: Clear NFS_INO_LAYOUTCOMMIT in pnfs_mark_layout_stateid_invalid

Fixes a crash when layout is null during this call stack:

write_inode
-> nfs4_write_inode
-> pnfs_layoutcommit_inode

pnfs_set_layoutcommit relies on the lseg refcount to keep the layout around. Need to clear NFS_INO_LAYOUTCOMMIT otherwise we might attempt to reference a null layout.

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.
