high Nessus Plugin ID 310384

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-2026-014348 advisory.

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

cppc_cpufreq: Fix possible null pointer dereference

cppc_cpufreq_get_rate() and hisi_cppc_cpufreq_get_rate() can be called from different places with various parameters. So cpufreq_cpu_get() can return null as 'policy' in some circumstances.
Fix this bug by adding null return check.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.

Solution

Update the affected kernel package.
