The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2026-003936 advisory.

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

    staging: greybus: audio_helper: remove unused and wrong debugfs usage

    In the greybus audio_helper code, the debugfs file for the dapm has the     potential to be removed and memory will be leaked.  There is also the     very real potential for this code to remove ALL debugfs entries from the     system, and it seems like this is what will really happen if this code     ever runs.  This all is very wrong as the greybus audio driver did not     create this debugfs file, the sound core did and controls the lifespan     of it.

    So remove all of the debugfs logic from the audio_helper code as there's     no way it could be correct.  If this really is needed, it can come back     with a fixup for the incorrect usage of the debugfs_lookup() call which     is what caused this to be noticed at all.

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.

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.
