Unity Linux 20.1050a Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-146618)

high Nessus Plugin ID 373141

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-2026-146618 advisory.

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

net: kcm: Hold RCU read lock while running BPF parser

kcm_parse_func_strparser() calls bpf_prog_run_pin_on_cpu() which prevents CPU migration, but does not establish an RCU read-side critical section. Consequently, BPF map operations can trigger WARN_ON_ONCE(!bpf_rcu_lock_held()) when called from the KCM strparser program.

Hold the RCU read lock while running the program.

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.
