high Nessus Plugin ID 267374

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-2025-381917 advisory.

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

spi: mpc52xx: Add cancel_work_sync before module remove

If we remove the module which will call mpc52xx_spi_remove it will free 'ms' through spi_unregister_controller.
while the work ms->work will be used. The sequence of operations that may lead to a UAF bug.

Fix it by ensuring that the work is canceled before proceeding with the cleanup in mpc52xx_spi_remove.

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.
