medium Nessus Plugin ID 300368

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-2026-005747 advisory.

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

fbdev/ep93xx-fb: Do not assign to struct fb_info.dev

Do not assing the Linux device to struct fb_info.dev. The call to register_framebuffer() initializes the field to the fbdev device.
Drivers should not override its value.

Fixes a bug where the driver incorrectly decreases the hardware device's reference counter and leaks the fbdev device.

v2:
* add Fixes tag (Dan)

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
