Unity Linux 20.1050a Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-146619)

high Nessus Plugin ID 373115

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-2026-146619 advisory.

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

misc: sgi-gru: remove interrupt-context page-table walks

The GRU TLB miss handler walks a process's page tables without holding page-table locks or a reference to the mapped page. It also uses a kernel page-table accessor on user page tables and supports only PMD-level large mappings on x86-64.

Remove the direct walker. Send interrupt faults directly to user polling mode so the existing call-OS fallback retries them in process context.

Remove the mmap-lock failure statistic that can no longer be incremented.

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.
