Bug Description

Issue found with J-oem-6.0.0-1007

This is not a regression as this failure can be found with older kernel (6.0.0-1004.4) as well

Test log:

A manual test shows this test case is a bit flaky for some reason:

I don't recall we have this issue with other kernels.

This CVE is relatively old, we already got this commit in our tree:
$ git tag --contain 8b8addf891d

Ubuntu-oem-6.0-6.0.0-1005.5
Ubuntu-oem-6.0-6.0.0-1006.6
Ubuntu-oem-6.0-6.0.0-1007.7

It's unclear why this is still failing.
