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

  - backlight: led-bl: Add devlink to supplier LEDs LED Backlight is a consumer of one or multiple LED class     devices, but devlink is currently unable to create correct supplier-producer links when the supplier is a     class device. It creates instead a link where the supplier is the parent of the expected device. One     consequence is that removal order is not correctly enforced. Issues happen for example with the following     sections in a device tree overlay: // An LED driver chip pca9632@62 { compatible = nxp,pca9632; reg =     <0x62>; // ... addon_led_pwm: led-pwm@3 { reg = <3>; label = addon:led:pwm; }; }; backlight-addon {     compatible = led-backlight; leds = <&addon_led_pwm>; brightness-levels = <255>; default-brightness-level     = <255>; }; In this example, the devlink should be created between the backlight-addon (consumer) and the     pca9632@62 (supplier). Instead it is created between the backlight-addon (consumer) and the parent of the     pca9632@62, which is typically the I2C bus adapter. On removal of the above overlay, the LED driver can be     removed before the backlight device, resulting in: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at     virtual address 0000000000000010 ... Call trace: led_put+0xe0/0x140 devm_led_release+0x6c/0x98 Another way     to reproduce the bug without any device tree overlays is unbinding the LED class device (pca9632@62)     before unbinding the consumer (backlight-addon): echo 11-0062 >/sys/bus/i2c/drivers/leds-pca963x/unbind     echo ...backlight-dock >/sys/bus/platform/drivers/led-backlight/unbind Fix by adding a devlink between the     consuming led-backlight device and the supplying LED device, as other drivers and subsystems do as well.
    (CVE-2025-68758)
