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

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

scsi: core: Put LLD module refcnt after SCSI device is released

SCSI host release is triggered when SCSI device is freed. We have to make sure that the low-level device driver module won't be unloaded before SCSI host instance is released because shost->hostt is required in the release handler.

Make sure to put LLD module refcnt after SCSI device is released.

Fixes a kernel panic of 'BUG: unable to handle page fault for address' reported by Changhui and Yi.
