Unity Linux 20.1070a Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-005714)
medium Nessus Plugin ID 300704
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-2026-005714 advisory.In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
platform/chrome: cros_usbpd_notify: Fix error handling in cros_usbpd_notify_init()
The following WARNING message was given when rmmod cros_usbpd_notify:
Unexpected driver unregister! WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 253 at drivers/base/driver.c:270 driver_unregister+0x8a/0xb0 Modules linked in: cros_usbpd_notify(-) CPU: 0 PID: 253 Comm: rmmod Not tainted 6.1.0-rc3 #24 ...
Call Trace:
<TASK> cros_usbpd_notify_exit+0x11/0x1e [cros_usbpd_notify]
__x64_sys_delete_module+0x3c7/0x570 ? __ia32_sys_delete_module+0x570/0x570 ? lock_is_held_type+0xe3/0x140 ? syscall_enter_from_user_mode+0x17/0x50 ? rcu_read_lock_sched_held+0xa0/0xd0 ? syscall_enter_from_user_mode+0x1c/0x50 do_syscall_64+0x37/0x90 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd RIP: 0033:0x7f333fe9b1b7
The reason is that the cros_usbpd_notify_init() does not check the return value of platform_driver_register(), and the cros_usbpd_notify can install successfully even if platform_driver_register() failed.
Fix by checking the return value of platform_driver_register() and unregister cros_usbpd_notify_plat_driver when it failed.
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.
