How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.2 cluster-md-kmp-rt to version 5.3.18-33.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream cluster-md-kmp-rt package and not the cluster-md-kmp-rt package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.2 relevant fixed versions and status.

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.9. arch/x86/kvm/svm/sev.c allows attackers to cause a denial of service (soft lockup) by triggering destruction of a large SEV VM (which requires unregistering many encrypted regions), aka CID-7be74942f184.
