Unity Linux 20.1060e / 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-010905)
medium Nessus Plugin ID 309030
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-2026-010905 advisory.In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mailbox: zynq-ipi: fix error handling while device_register() fails
If device_register() fails, it has two issues:
1. The name allocated by dev_set_name() is leaked.
2. The parent of device is not NULL, device_unregister() is called in zynqmp_ipi_free_mboxes(), it will lead a kernel crash because of removing not added device.
Call put_device() to give up the reference, so the name is freed in kobject_cleanup(). Add device registered check in zynqmp_ipi_free_mboxes() to avoid null-ptr-deref.
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.See Also
