medium Nessus Plugin ID 308338
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-2026-006949 advisory.In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: host: xhci: Fix potential memory leak in xhci_alloc_stream_info()
xhci_alloc_stream_info() allocates stream context array for stream_info
->stream_ctx_array with xhci_alloc_stream_ctx(). When some error occurs, stream_info->stream_ctx_array is not released, which will lead to a memory leak.
We can fix it by releasing the stream_info->stream_ctx_array with xhci_free_stream_ctx() on the error path to avoid the potential memory leak.
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.
