Unity Linux 20.1050a Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-100710)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 337024

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-2026-100710 advisory.

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

ASoC: amd: acp3x-rt5682-max9836: Add missing error check for clock acquisition

The acp3x_5682_init() function did not check the return value of clk_get(), which could lead to dereferencing error pointers in rt5682_clk_enable().

Fix this by:
1. Changing clk_get() to the device-managed devm_clk_get().
2. Adding proper IS_ERR() checks for both clock acquisitions.

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.
