Description Martin Prpič 2015-10-23 13:01:07 UTC

Comment 1 Martin Prpič 2015-10-23 13:03:52 UTC 
Created kernel tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1274730]
Comment 2 Josh Boyer 2015-10-23 13:25:05 UTC 
This requires CONFIG_VIDEO_VIVID to be enabled.  None of the Fedora kernels have this driver enabled.
Comment 4 Vladis Dronov 2016-01-26 13:54:38 UTC 
Statement:

This issue does not affect the Linux kernel packages as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, 6, 7 and MRG-2 as the code with the flaw is not present in the products listed.
