Unity Linux 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2025-992233)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 280381

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-2025-992233 advisory.

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

drm/msm/mdp5: Don't leak some plane state

Apparently no one noticed that mdp5 plane states leak like a sieve ever since we introduced plane_state->commit refcount a few years ago in 21a01abbe32a (drm/atomic: Fix freeing connector/plane state too early by tracking commits, v3.)

Fix it by using the right helpers.

Patchwork: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/551236/

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.
