Unity Linux 20.1070a Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-143114)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 370743

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-2026-143114 advisory.

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

mptcp: pm: ADD_ADDR rtx: fix potential data-race

This mptcp_pm_add_timer() helper is executed as a timer callback in softirq context. To avoid any data races, the socket lock needs to be held with bh_lock_sock().

If the socket is in use, retry again soon after, similar to what is done with the keepalive timer.

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.
