Last modified
CVE-2024-26836 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.8/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: platform/x86: think-lmi: Fix password opcode ordering for workstations The Lenovo workstations require the password opcode to be run before the attribute value is changed (if Admin password is enabled). Tested on some Thinkpads to confirm they are OK with this order too.. EPSS estimates a 0.23% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
