medium Nessus Plugin ID 267004

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-2025-414661 advisory.

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

 drm/amd/display: Fix memory leak in dm_sw_fini()

 After destroying dmub_srv, the memory associated with it is not freed, causing a memory leak:

 unreferenced object 0xffff896302b45800 (size 1024):

 Fix this by freeing dmub_srv after destroying it.

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.
