How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.0 kernel-obs-build to version 4.12.14-150000.150.109.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-obs-build package and not the kernel-obs-build package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.0 relevant fixed versions and status.

drivers/scsi/stex.c in the Linux kernel through 5.19.9 allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory because stex_queuecommand_lck lacks a memset for the PASSTHRU_CMD case.
