The result of automatic check (that is developed by Alexander Larkin) for this CVE-2023-52838 is: 	SKIP	No affected files built, so skip this CVE	NO			-	-	unknown	 (where first YES/NO value means if related sources built).
Comment 5 Niels De Graef 2024-06-20 08:20:26 UTC 
Closed the RHEL trackers as not a bug, the kconfig for that code isn't set:

{noformat}
$ grep -niR CONFIG_FB_IMSTT redhat
redhat/configs/generic/CONFIG_FB_IMSTT:1:# CONFIG_FB_IMSTT is not set
