- Can't port to this kernel as the driver support for a particular device in our board based on *Linux Kernel* *4.19.94* is missing in the *6.12.x* kernel and don't have the *expertise* to port the *driver(s)* to the *6.12.x series*. So,  can upgrade to *linux-cip-4.19.325-cipX* kernel only.

Ok, will try to run this tool. Would this tool be able to list out *the solved and unsolved vulnerabilities* in *linux-cip-4.19.325-cipX* based on the *.config file* modified as per our board ?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also, will the CIP community not be solving all the vulnerabilities associated with the *4.19.325* reported by websites like cve.org, cvedetails.com, NVD  etc in their repository *linux-cip* (repo link:- https://gitlab.com/cip-project/cip-kernel/linux-cip.git ) in *linux-4.19.y-cip branch* ?
