Unity Linux 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-005476)

high Nessus Plugin ID 300580

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-2026-005476 advisory.

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

drm: bridge: adv7511: unregister cec i2c device after cec adapter

cec_unregister_adapter() assumes that the underlying adapter ops are callable. For example, if the CEC adapter currently has a valid physical address, then the unregistration procedure will invalidate the physical address by setting it to f.f.f.f. Whence the following kernel oops observed after removing the adv7511 module:

Unable to handle kernel execution of user memory at virtual address 0000000000000000 Internal error: Oops: 86000004 [#1] PREEMPT_RT SMP Call trace:

Protect against this scenario by unregistering i2c_cec after unregistering the CEC adapter. Duly disable the CEC clock afterwards too.

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.
