"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-102039 advisory.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tipc: fix use-after-free of the discoverer in tipc_disc_rcv()
bearer_disable() frees b->disc with tipc_disc_delete()'s plain kfree(),
but tipc_disc_rcv() still dereferences b->disc in RX softirq under
rcu_read_lock() (tipc_udp_recv -> tipc_rcv -> tipc_disc_rcv).
L2 bearers are safe thanks to the synchronize_net() in
tipc_disable_l2_media(), but the UDP bearer defers that call to the
cleanup_bearer() workqueue, so the discoverer is freed with no grace
period:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in tipc_disc_rcv (net/tipc/discover.c:149)
Read of size 8 at addr ffff88802348b728 by task poc_tipc/184
<IRQ>
tipc_disc_rcv (net/tipc/discover.c:149)
tipc_rcv (net/tipc/node.c:2126)
tipc_udp_recv (net/tipc/udp_media.c:391)
udp_rcv (net/ipv4/udp.c:2643)
ip_local_deliver_finish (net/ipv4/ip_input.c:241)
</IRQ>
Freed by task 181:
kfree (mm/slub.c:6565)
bearer_disable (net/tipc/bearer.c:418)
tipc_nl_bearer_disable (net/tipc/bearer.c:1001)
The bearer is freed with kfree_rcu(); free the discoverer the same way.
Add an rcu_head to struct tipc_discoverer and free it and its skb from an
RCU callback.
Because the RCU callback (tipc_disc_free_rcu) lives in module text, a
call_rcu() that is still pending when the tipc module is unloaded would
invoke a freed function. Add an rcu_barrier() to tipc_exit() after the
bearer subsystem has been torn down, so all pending discoverer callbacks
have run before the module text goes away.
Reachable from an unprivileged user namespace: the TIPCv2 genl family is
netnsok and its bearer commands have no GENL_ADMIN_PERM. Needs CONFIG_TIPC
and CONFIG_TIPC_MEDIA_UDP.
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.");
