UTSA-2026-011376 advisory.

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

    scsi: hisi_sas: Set debugfs_dir pointer to NULL after removing debugfs

    If init debugfs failed during device registration due to memory allocation
    failure, debugfs_remove_recursive() is called, after which debugfs_dir is
    not set to NULL. debugfs_remove_recursive() will be called again during
    device removal. As a result, illegal pointer is accessed.

    To fix this, set debugfs_dir to NULL after debugfs_remove_recursive().

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.
