Unity Linux 20.1050a Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-053368)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 343189

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-2026-053368 advisory.

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

fbdev: tdfxfb: avoid divide-by-zero on FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO

Much like commit 19f953e74356 (fbdev: fb_pm2fb: Avoid potential divide by zero error), we also need to prevent that same crash from happening in the udlfb driver as it uses pixclock directly when dividing, which will crash.

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.
