Unity Linux 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-131756)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 366601

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-2026-131756 advisory.

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

 drm/amdgpu: change vm->task_info handling

 This patch changes the handling and lifecycle of vm->task_info object.
 The major changes are:
 - vm->task_info is a dynamically allocated ptr now, and its uasge is reference counted.
 - introducing two new helper funcs for task_info lifecycle management
 - amdgpu_vm_get_task_info: reference counts up task_info before returning this info
 - amdgpu_vm_put_task_info: reference counts down task_info
 - last put to task_info() frees task_info from the vm.

 This patch also does logistical changes required for existing usage of vm->task_info.

 V2: Do not block all the prints when task_info not found (Felix)

 V3: Fixed review comments from Felix
 - Fix wrong indentation
 - No debug message for -ENOMEM
 - Add NULL check for task_info
 - Do not duplicate the debug messages (ti vs no ti)
 - Get first reference of task_info in vm_init(), put last in vm_fini()

 V4: Fixed review comments from Felix
 - fix double reference increment in create_task_info
 - change amdgpu_vm_get_task_info_pasid
 - additional changes in amdgpu_gem.c while porting

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.
