Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description The issue concerns the Linux kernel, specifically the think-lmi platform, where the password opcode ordering for workstations has been fixed. The Lenovo workstations require the password opcode to be run before the attribute value is changed, if the Admin password is enabled. This fix has been tested on some Thinkpads to confirm they are okay with this order.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
