medium Nessus Plugin ID 267206

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-2025-400711 advisory.

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

media: platform: allegro-dvt: Fix possible memory leak in allocate_buffers_internal()

The buffer in the loop should be released under the exception path, otherwise there may be a memory leak here.

To mitigate this, free the buffer when allegro_alloc_buffer fails.

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.
