Unity Linux 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2025-990894)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 274992

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-2025-990894 advisory.

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

 drm/amd/display: Skip wbscl_set_scaler_filter if filter is null

 Callers can pass null in filter (i.e. from returned from the function wbscl_get_filter_coeffs_16p) and a null check is added to ensure that is not the case.

 This fixes 4 NULL_RETURNS issues reported by Coverity.

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.
