## Overview

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

platform/x86: dell-wmi-sysman: Don't hex dump plaintext password data

set_new_password() hex dumps the entire buffer, which contains plaintext
password data, including current and new passwords. Remove the hex dump
to avoid leaking credentials.

## Affected

- `linux_kernel >= 5.11.1, < 5.15.203`
- `linux_kernel >= 5.16, < 6.1.167`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.2, < 6.6.130`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.7, < 6.12.77`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.13, < 6.18.17`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.19, < 6.19.7`
- `linux_kernel = 5.11`
- `linux_kernel = 7.0`

## Remediation

Upgrade past the affected range:

- `linux_kernel 6.19.7`
