Unity Linux 20.1050a / 20.1060a / 20.1070a Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2025-384214)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 267096

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-2025-384214 advisory.

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

 drm/mediatek: Add 0 size check to mtk_drm_gem_obj

 Add a check to mtk_drm_gem_init if we attempt to allocate a GEM object of 0 bytes. Currently, no such check exists and the kernel will panic if a userspace application attempts to allocate a 0x0 GBM buffer.

 Tested by attempting to allocate a 0x0 GBM buffer on an MT8188 and verifying that we now return EINVAL.

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.
