Unity Linux 20.1050a / 20.1060a / 20.1070a Security Update: xorg-x11-server-Xwayland (UTSA-2026-147000)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 373833

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-2026-147000 advisory.

An out-of-bounds read flaw was found in the X.Org X server and Xwayland in
__glXDisp_ChangeDrawableAttributes(). A wrong size validation check can read a client-controlled number of bytes, exceeding the request buffer, leading to information disclosure. A write path also exists but requires byte-swapped clients which is disabled by default.

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 xorg-x11-server-Xwayland package.
