Unity Linux 20.1050e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-100170)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 336653

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-2026-100170 advisory.

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

usb: ulpi: fix memory leak on ulpi_register() error paths

Commit 01af542392b5 (usb: ulpi: fix double free in ulpi_register_interface() error path) removed kfree(ulpi) from ulpi_register_interface() to fix a double-free when device_register() fails.

But when ulpi_of_register() or ulpi_read_id() fail before device_register() is called, the ulpi allocation is leaked.

Add kfree(ulpi) on both error paths to properly clean up the allocation.

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.
