{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2023-53678","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  drm/i915: Fix system suspend without fbdev being initialized  If fbdev is not initialized for some reason - in practice on platforms without display - suspending fbdev should be skipped during system suspend, fix this up. While at it add an assert that suspending fbdev only happens with the display present.  This fixes the following:  [   91.227923] PM: suspend entry (s2idle) [   91.254598] Filesystems sync: 0.025 seconds [   91.270518] Freezing user space processes [   91.272266] Freezing user space processes completed (elapsed 0.001 seconds) [   91.272686] OOM killer disabled.
