Unity Linux 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2025-986561)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 268322

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-2025-986561 advisory.

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

 drm/nouveau/dispnv04: fix null pointer dereference in nv17_tv_get_hd_modes

 In nv17_tv_get_hd_modes(), the return value of drm_mode_duplicate() is assigned to mode, which will lead to a possible NULL pointer dereference on failure of drm_mode_duplicate(). The same applies to drm_cvt_mode().
 Add a check to avoid null pointer dereference.

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.
