In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: staging: rtl8712: fix use after free bugs _Read/Write_MACREG callbacks are NULL so the read/write_macreg_hdl() functions don't do anything except free the "pcmd" pointer. It results in a use after free. Delete them.

The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2025-991176 advisory.

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

    staging: rtl8712: fix use after free bugs

    _Read/Write_MACREG callbacks are NULL so the read/write_macreg_hdl()     functions don't do anything except free the pcmd pointer.  It     results in a use after free.  Delete them.

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.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.
