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-2025-412694 advisory.

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

hwmon: (axi-fan-control) Fix possible NULL pointer dereference

axi_fan_control_irq_handler(), dependent on the private axi_fan_control_data structure, might be called before the hwmon device is registered. That will cause an Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference error.

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.
