Unity Linux 20.1050a Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-146820)

high Nessus Plugin ID 373156

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-2026-146820 advisory.

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

greybus: audio: bound the topology section sizes against the fetched size

gb_audio_gb_get_topology() fetches a topology blob of a module-supplied size, and gbaudio_tplg_parse_data() then walks it by adding the module-supplied size_dais, size_controls and size_widgets fields to form the control, widget and route section offsets. Those le32 sizes are never checked against the fetched blob, so a module reporting a small topology size but large section sizes makes the offsets point past the allocation, and parsing reads out of bounds.

Reject a topology whose section sizes do not fit within the fetched size before it is parsed.

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.
