Unity Linux 20.1050a / 20.1060a / 20.1070a Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2025-396422)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 267201

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-2025-396422 advisory.

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

 mmc: mmc_test: Fix NULL dereference on allocation failure

 If the test->highmem = alloc_pages() allocation fails then calling
 __free_pages(test->highmem) will result in a NULL dereference. Also change the error code to -ENOMEM instead of returning success.

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.

Solution

Update the affected kernel package.
