high Nessus Plugin ID 275022

Synopsis

Description

The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2025-990857 advisory.

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

 ALSA: asihpi: Fix potential OOB array access

 ASIHPI driver stores some values in the static array upon a response from the driver, and its index depends on the firmware. We shouldn't trust it blindly.

 This patch adds a sanity check of the array index to fit in the array size.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.
