Since a client existing means the AP is also\noperating, we can then keep the warning.\n\nAlso simplify the moved code a bit.\n\n## Affected\n\n- `Linux >= 55de908ab292c03f1eb280f51170ddb9c6b57e31 < 7e1cda5cf07f848e6b50b4e5e7761ffbce905a3d`\n- `Linux >= 55de908ab292c03f1eb280f51170ddb9c6b57e31 < 7dce2deb0b03aaf46c87ceedea81ef4153e26c40`\n- `Linux >= 55de908ab292c03f1eb280f51170ddb9c6b57e31 < 67dfa589aa8806c7959cbca2f4613b8d41c75a06`\n- `Linux 3.8`\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.","depth":"sunlit","depthScore":3,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":2.8,"likelihood":0,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
