Unity Linux 20.1050a / 20.1060a / 20.1070a Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2025-389366)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 267272

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-2025-389366 advisory.

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

 atm: Fix NULL pointer dereference

 When MPOA_cache_impos_rcvd() receives the msg, it can trigger Null Pointer Dereference Vulnerability if both entry and holding_time are NULL. Because there is only for the situation where entry is NULL and holding_time exists, it can be passed when both entry and holding_time are NULL. If these are NULL, the entry will be passd to eg_cache_put() as parameter and it is referenced by entry->use code in it.
