Unity Linux 20.1050a Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-053267)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 343226

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-2026-053267 advisory.

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

iio: adc: at91-sama5d2_adc: Fix potential use-after-free in sama5d2_adc driver

at91_adc_interrupt can call at91_adc_touch_data_handler function to start the work by schedule_work(&st->touch_st.workq).

If we remove the module which will call at91_adc_remove to make cleanup, it will free indio_dev through iio_device_unregister but quite a bit later. While the work mentioned above will be used. The sequence of operations that may lead to a UAF bug is as follows:

CPU0 CPU1

| at91_adc_workq_handler at91_adc_remove | iio_device_unregister(indio_dev) | //free indio_dev a bit later | | iio_push_to_buffers(indio_dev) | //use indio_dev

Fix it by ensuring that the work is canceled before proceeding with the cleanup in at91_adc_remove.

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.
