Unity Linux 20.1050a Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-146650)

high Nessus Plugin ID 373208

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-2026-146650 advisory.

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

ALSA: harmony: initialize locks before requesting IRQ

snd_harmony_create() registers the IRQ before initializing h->lock and h->mixer_lock. A pending interrupt can invoke the handler while these locks are uninitialized.

Initialize both locks before requesting the IRQ so the handler always sees valid lock state.

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.
