Unity Linux 20.1070a Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-146145)

high Nessus Plugin ID 372515

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-2026-146145 advisory.

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

drm/amdkfd: Add bounds check for CRAT subtype length

The CRAT parser validates that the subtype header fits within the image, but does not verify that the advertised subtype length fits. A malformed CRAT table with an oversized length field causes out-of-bounds reads when kfd_parse_subtype() casts the header to specific subtype structures.

Add validation that sub_type_hdr + length does not exceed the image boundary before parsing the subtype contents.

(cherry picked from commit 48e1d1e6e8798aef0312e68d8e586021b5b3cf4d)

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.
