"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-011197 advisory.

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

    serial: 8250: Reinit port->pm on port specific driver unbind

    When we unbind a serial port hardware specific 8250 driver, the generic
    serial8250 driver takes over the port. After that we see an oops about 10
    seconds later. This can produce the following at least on some TI SoCs:

    Unhandled fault: imprecise external abort (0x1406)
    Internal error: : 1406 [#1] SMP ARM

    Turns out that we may still have the serial port hardware specific driver
    port->pm in use, and serial8250_pm() tries to call it after the port
    specific driver is gone:

    serial8250_pm [8250_base] from uart_change_pm+0x54/0x8c [serial_base]
    uart_change_pm [serial_base] from uart_hangup+0x154/0x198 [serial_base]
    uart_hangup [serial_base] from __tty_hangup.part.0+0x328/0x37c
    __tty_hangup.part.0 from disassociate_ctty+0x154/0x20c
    disassociate_ctty from do_exit+0x744/0xaac
    do_exit from do_group_exit+0x40/0x8c
    do_group_exit from __wake_up_parent+0x0/0x1c

    Let's fix the issue by calling serial8250_set_defaults() in
    serial8250_unregister_port(). This will set the port back to using
    the serial8250 default functions, and sets the port->pm to point to
    serial8250_pm.

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.");
