Unity Linux 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2025-987681)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 271062

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-2025-987681 advisory.

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

 net: ethernet: ti: am65-cpsw-nuss: Fix some refcount leaks

 of_get_child_by_name() returns a node pointer with refcount incremented, we should use of_node_put() on it when not need anymore.
 am65_cpsw_init_cpts() and am65_cpsw_nuss_probe() don't release the refcount in error case.
 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.

Solution

Update the affected kernel package.
