medium Nessus Plugin ID 308751
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-2026-011148 advisory.In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: hsr: avoid possible NULL deref in skb_clone()
syzbot got a crash [1] in skb_clone(), caused by a bug in hsr_get_untagged_frame().
When/if create_stripped_skb_hsr() returns NULL, we must not attempt to call skb_clone().
While we are at it, replace a WARN_ONCE() by netdev_warn_once().
