Unity Linux 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-013293)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 307926

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-2026-013293 advisory.

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

media: af9005: Fix null-ptr-deref in af9005_i2c_xfer

In af9005_i2c_xfer, msg is controlled by user. When msg[i].buf is null and msg[i].len is zero, former checks on msg[i].buf would be passed. Malicious data finally reach af9005_i2c_xfer. If accessing msg[i].buf[0] without sanity check, null ptr deref would happen.
We add check on msg[i].len to prevent crash.

Similar commit:
commit 0ed554fd769a (media: dvb-usb: az6027: fix null-ptr-deref in az6027_i2c_xfer())

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.
