Unity Linux 20.1020e / 20.1050e / 20.1060e / 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-142717)

high Nessus Plugin ID 370789

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-2026-142717 advisory.

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

Input: synaptics-rmi4 - zero report size on F54 work error

In rmi_f54_work(), if an error occurs during report request or command verification, the code jumped directly to the 'error' label, bypassing the 'abort' label where f54->report_size was normally zeroed out.

This left f54->report_size containing its previous successful payload size. If a user then altered the V4L2 format to a smaller size, and a subsequent run failed, rmi_f54_buffer_queue() would copy the stale, larger payload size into the shrunken V4L2 buffer, causing a heap buffer overflow.

Fix this by merging the 'abort' and 'error' labels into a single 'out' exit path, and ensuring that f54->report_size is always set to 0 on failure by checking for error and zeroing the local report_size first.

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.
