"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-107284 advisory.

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

    firmware: dmi-sysfs: Fix null-ptr-deref in dmi_sysfs_register_handle

    KASAN reported a null-ptr-deref error:

    KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000008-0x000000000000000f]
    CPU: 0 PID: 1373 Comm: modprobe
    Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996)
    RIP: 0010:dmi_sysfs_entry_release
    ...
    Call Trace:
     <TASK>
     kobject_put
     dmi_sysfs_register_handle (drivers/firmware/dmi-sysfs.c:540) dmi_sysfs
     dmi_decode_table (drivers/firmware/dmi_scan.c:133)
     dmi_walk (drivers/firmware/dmi_scan.c:1115)
     dmi_sysfs_init (drivers/firmware/dmi-sysfs.c:149) dmi_sysfs
     do_one_initcall (init/main.c:1296)
     ...
    Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
    Kernel Offset: 0x4000000 from 0xffffffff81000000
    ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception ]---

    It is because previous patch added kobject_put() to release the memory
    which will call  dmi_sysfs_entry_release() and list_del().

    However, list_add_tail(entry->list) is called after the error block,
    so the list_head is uninitialized and cannot be deleted.

    Move error handling to after list_add_tail to fix this.

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.");
