How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.3 kernel-64kb to version 5.3.18-59.30.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-64kb package and not the kernel-64kb package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.3 relevant fixed versions and status.

The Linux kernel before 5.11.14 has a use-after-free in cipso_v4_genopt in net/ipv4/cipso_ipv4.c because the CIPSO and CALIPSO refcounting for the DOI definitions is mishandled, aka CID-ad5d07f4a9cd. This leads to writing an arbitrary value.
