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-2026-005050 advisory.

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

 drm/arm/malidp: fix a possible null pointer dereference

 In malidp_mw_connector_reset, new memory is allocated with kzalloc, but no check is performed. In order to prevent null pointer dereferencing, ensure that mw_state is checked before calling
 __drm_atomic_helper_connector_reset.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.
