| Description: | Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'linux, linux-hwe-5.4' package(s) announced via the USN-7391-1 advisory.
Vulnerability Insight:
Chenyuan Yang discovered that the CEC driver driver in the Linux kernel
contained a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this
to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary
code. (CVE-2024-23848)
