Unity Linux 20.1060e / 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2025-992614)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 280231

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-2025-992614 advisory.

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

ocxl: fix pci device refcount leak when calling get_function_0()

get_function_0() calls pci_get_domain_bus_and_slot(), as comment says, it returns a pci device with refcount increment, so after using it, pci_dev_put() needs be called.

Get the device reference when get_function_0() is not called, so pci_dev_put() can be called in the error path and callers unconditionally. And add comment above get_dvsec_vendor0() to tell callers to call pci_dev_put().

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.
