An update of the linux package has been released.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - Ubuntu Linux - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/panel: fix a     possible null pointer dereference In versatile_panel_get_modes(), the return value of drm_mode_duplicate()     is assigned to mode, which will lead to a NULL pointer dereference on failure of drm_mode_duplicate(). Add     a check to avoid npd. (CVE-2023-52821)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2026-005076 advisory.
