medium Nessus Plugin ID 280819

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-2025-992872 advisory.

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

RDMA/hns: Fix NULL pointer derefernce in hns_roce_map_mr_sg()

ib_map_mr_sg() allows ULPs to specify NULL as the sg_offset argument.
The driver needs to check whether it is a NULL pointer before dereferencing it.

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.
