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.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 5.15.63 / 5.19.4 or later
Fixed in 5.15.635.19.4
Vendor patch git.kernel.org →
Recommended fix High confidence

Linux Kernel 5.15.63 or later (for <5.15.63); Linux Kernel 5.19.4 or later (for >=5.16, <5.19.4)

  1. Upgrade the Linux kernel to version 5.15.63 or later if currently running a version < 5.15.63
  2. If running kernel version >= 5.16, upgrade to version 5.19.4 or later
  3. After kernel upgrade, reboot the system to load the new kernel
  4. Verify the Venus driver (qcom-venus) probe succeeds without the warning by checking dmesg output for any remaining errors
Caveat Kernel upgrades may require matching firmware, bootloader updates, and could introduce regression in other drivers; ensure compatibility with system hardware before deploying

Generated from the published advisory — verify against the referenced sources before acting.

We can perform the upgrade in your staging environment and verify nothing breaks — typical engagement from $1,600. Get the upgrade done
