"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-100772 advisory.

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

    usb: ulpi: fix memory leak on ulpi_register() error paths

    Commit 01af542392b5 (usb: ulpi: fix double free in
    ulpi_register_interface() error path) removed kfree(ulpi) from
    ulpi_register_interface() to fix a double-free when device_register()
    fails.

    But when ulpi_of_register() or ulpi_read_id() fail before
    device_register() is called, the ulpi allocation is leaked.

    Add kfree(ulpi) on both error paths to properly clean up the allocation.

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.");
