medium Nessus Plugin ID 280401

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-2025-992434 advisory.

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

 virtio-gpu: fix a missing check to avoid NULL dereference

 'cache_ent' could be set NULL inside virtio_gpu_cmd_get_capset() and it will lead to a NULL dereference by a lately use of it (i.e., ptr = cache_ent->caps_cache). Fix it with a NULL check.
