Unity Linux 20.1020e / 20.1050e / 20.1060e / 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-142555)

high Nessus Plugin ID 370666

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-2026-142555 advisory.

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

selinux: check connect-related permissions on TCP Fast Open

Similar to Landlock, SELinux was not updated when TCP Fast Open support was introduced to ensure connect-related permissions are checked when using TCP Fast Open. Update its socket_sendmsg() hook to call selinux_socket_connect() when MSG_FASTOPEN is passed.

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.
