Unity Linux 20.1070a Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-143034)

high Nessus Plugin ID 370780

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-2026-143034 advisory.

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

scsi: pm8001: Use rollback index when freeing MSI-X vectors

pm8001_request_msix() unwinds previously registered handlers with free_irq() when request_irq() fails. The rollback loop uses the failing index i for every iteration instead of the already registered vector index j.

That passes the wrong IRQ/dev_id pair to free_irq() and leaves the earlier handlers installed. Use j for both pci_irq_vector() and the matching irq_vector entry in the rollback loop.

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.
