Unity Linux 20.1050e / 20.1060e / 20.1070-8ae / 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-073378)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 343267

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-2026-073378 advisory.

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

net: garp: fix unsigned integer underflow in garp_pdu_parse_attr

The receive-side GARP attribute parser computes dlen with reversed operands:

dlen = sizeof(*ga) - ga->len;

ga->len is the on-wire attribute length and includes the GARP attribute header. For normal attributes with data, ga->len is larger than sizeof(*ga), so the subtraction underflows in unsigned arithmetic.

The resulting value is later passed to garp_attr_lookup(), whose length argument is u8. After truncation, the parsed data length usually no longer matches the length stored for locally registered attributes, so received Join/Leave events are ignored. This breaks the GARP receive path for common attributes, such as GVRP VLAN registration attributes.

Compute the data length as the attribute length minus the header length.

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.
