Unity Linux 20.1050a Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-146647)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 373144

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-2026-146647 advisory.

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

iommu/vt-d: Force requesting ACS when tboot is enabled

Currently the conditions of requesting ACS in detect_intel_iommu() don't include tboot, leading to a possible misconfiguration with ACS disabled (e.g. due to user opts) while iommu is later forced on by tboot_force_iommu().

Fix it by checking tboot in detect_intel_iommu().

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.
