"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-986933 advisory.

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

    drm/amd/pm: Update intermediate power state for SI

    Update the current state as boot state during dpm initialization.
    During the subsequent initialization, set_power_state gets called to
    transition to the final power state. set_power_state refers to values
    from the current state and without current state populated, it could
    result in NULL pointer dereference.

    For ex: on platforms where PCI speed change is supported through ACPI
    ATCS method, the link speed of current state needs to be queried before
    deciding on changing to final power state's link speed. The logic to query
    ATCS-support was broken on certain platforms. The issue became visible
    when broken ATCS-support logic got fixed with commit
    f9b7f3703ff9 (drm/amdgpu/acpi: make ATPX/ATCS structures global (v2)).

    Bug: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/1698

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.");
