Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.

dbcve · scoped
Upgrade available Upgrade to 6.0.9 or later
Fixed in 6.0.9
Vendor patch git.kernel.org →
Recommended fix High confidence

6.0.9 or later (6.0.x), or 6.1.1 or later (6.1.x), or any later stable kernel

  1. Upgrade the Linux kernel to version 6.0.9 or later for the 6.0.x stable branch, or version 6.1.1 or later for the 6.1.x stable branch
  2. After upgrading, reboot the system to load the fixed kernel
  3. Verify the kernel version with 'uname -r' to confirm the fix is applied
  4. Test module removal (rmmod ti_am65_cpsw_nuss) to ensure no segmentation fault occurs
