Unity Linux 20.1070a Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-143050)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 370570

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-2026-143050 advisory.

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

mptcp: use OPTION_MPTCP_MPJ_SYNACK in subflow_finish_connect()

subflow_finish_connect() uses four fields (backup, join_id, thmac, none) that may contain garbage unless OPTION_MPTCP_MPJ_SYNACK has been set in mptcp_parse_option()

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.
