Unity Linux 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-131773)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 366577

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-2026-131773 advisory.

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

perf/x86/intel/uncore: Skip discovery table for offline dies

This warning can be triggered if NUMA is disabled and the system boots with fewer CPUs than the number of CPUs in die 0.

WARNING: CPU: 9 PID: 7257 at uncore.c:1157 uncore_pci_pmu_register+0x136/0x160 [intel_uncore]

Currently, the discovery table continues to be parsed even if all CPUs in the associated die are offline. This can lead to an array overflow at pmu->boxes[die] = box in uncore_pci_pmu_register(), which may trigger the warning above or cause other issues.

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.
