Language:

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

 - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: pmdomain: imx: gpcv2: Adjust delay after power up handshake The udelay(5) is not enough, sometimes below kernel panic still be triggered: [ 4.012973] Kernel panic - not syncing: Asynchronous SError Interrupt [ 4.012976] CPU: 2 UID: 0 PID: 186 Comm: (udev-worker) Not tainted 6.12.0-rc2-0.0.0-devel-00004-g8b1b79e88956 #1 [ 4.012982] Hardware name:
