Unity Linux 20.1020e / 20.1050e / 20.1060e / 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-142474)

high Nessus Plugin ID 370727

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-2026-142474 advisory.

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

xfrm6: clear dst.dev on error to avoid double netdev_put in xfrm6_fill_dst()

On the error path where in6_dev_get(dev) returns NULL, xfrm6_fill_dst() releases the device reference with netdev_put() but leaves xdst->u.dst.dev set. dst_destroy() later calls netdev_put(dst->dev) again, so the same net_device reference is released twice, underflowing its refcount (ref_tracker WARNING + unregister_netdevice: waiting for <dev> to become free).

Clear xdst->u.dst.dev after the netdev_put(), the same way the XFRM device-offload paths xfrm_dev_state_add() and xfrm_dev_policy_add() in net/xfrm/xfrm_device.c NULL ->dev when releasing the reference on error.

ref_tracker: reference already released.
ref_tracker: allocated in:
xfrm6_fill_dst (net/ipv6/xfrm6_policy.c:86) ...
udpv6_sendmsg (net/ipv6/udp.c:1696) ...
ref_tracker: freed in:
xfrm6_fill_dst (net/ipv6/xfrm6_policy.c:90) ...
WARNING: lib/ref_tracker.c:322 at ref_tracker_free+0x58b/0x780 dst_destroy (net/core/dst.c:115) rcu_core handle_softirqs ...

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.
