In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: netsec: fix error handling in netsec_register_mdio() If phy_device_register() fails, phy_device_free() need be called to put refcount, so memory of phy device and device name can be freed in callback function. If get_phy_device() fails, mdiobus_unregister() need be called, or it will cause warning in mdiobus_free() and kobject is leaked.

The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2026-013678 advisory.

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

    net: netsec: fix error handling in netsec_register_mdio()

    If phy_device_register() fails, phy_device_free() need be called to     put refcount, so memory of phy device and device name can be freed     in callback function.

    If get_phy_device() fails, mdiobus_unregister() need be called,     or it will cause warning in mdiobus_free() and kobject is leaked.
