Unity Linux 20.1050e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-100168)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 336215

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-2026-100168 advisory.

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

soc: aspeed: Add NULL check in aspeed_lpc_enable_snoop()

devm_kasprintf() returns NULL when memory allocation fails. Currently, aspeed_lpc_enable_snoop() does not check for this case, which results in a NULL pointer dereference.

Add NULL check after devm_kasprintf() to prevent this issue.

[arj: Fix Fixes: tag to use subject from 3772e5da4454]

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.
