Unity Linux 20.1060e / 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2025-992263)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 280195

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-2025-992263 advisory.

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

 HID: steam: Prevent NULL pointer dereference in steam_{recv,send}_report

 It is possible for a malicious device to forgo submitting a Feature Report. The HID Steam driver presently makes no prevision for this and de-references the 'struct hid_report' pointer obtained from the HID devices without first checking its validity. Let's change that.

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.
