medium Nessus Plugin ID 269063
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-2025-986860 advisory.In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm/a6xx: Fix refcount leak in a6xx_gpu_init
of_parse_phandle() returns a node pointer with refcount incremented, we should use of_node_put() on it when not need anymore.
a6xx_gmu_init() passes the node to of_find_device_by_node() and of_dma_configure(), of_find_device_by_node() will takes its reference, of_dma_configure() doesn't need the node after usage.
Add missing of_node_put() to avoid refcount leak.
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.
