Unity Linux 20.1050e / 20.1060e / 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-151147)

high Nessus Plugin ID 378410

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-2026-151147 advisory.

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

HID: hidpp: fix potential UAF in hidpp_connect_event()

If input_register_device() fails, we call input_free_device(), but keep stale pointer to the old device in hidpp->input, which could potentially lead to UAF. Fix that by resetting it to NULL before returning from hidpp_connect_event().

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.
