Unity Linux 20.1070a Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-013073)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 307772

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-2026-013073 advisory.

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

pmdomain: arm: scmi: Fix genpd leak on provider registration failure

If of_genpd_add_provider_onecell() fails during probe, the previously created generic power domains are not removed, leading to a memory leak and potential kernel crash later in genpd_debug_add().

Add proper error handling to unwind the initialized domains before returning from probe to ensure all resources are correctly released on failure.

Example crash trace observed without this fix:

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.
