## 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.
