Unity Linux 20.1050a Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-146628)

high Nessus Plugin ID 373088

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-2026-146628 advisory.

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

RDMA/cxgb4: Cancel reg_work before freeing device on remove

c4iw_uld_state_change() queues reg_work to register the RDMA device.
c4iw_remove() can free ctx->dev while this work is pending or running, leaving c4iw_register_device() accessing the freed device.

Cancel reg_work before removing the device. The registration work can tear down ctx->dev when registration fails, so do not unregister or deallocate it again in that case.

This issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool.

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.
