How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.3 kernel-macros to version 5.3.18-150300.59.164.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-macros package and not the kernel-macros 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:

net: ethernet: fix potential use-after-free in ec_bhf_remove

static void ec_bhf_remove(struct pci_dev *dev) { ... struct ec_bhf_priv *priv = netdev_priv(net_dev);

unregister_netdev(net_dev);
free_netdev(net_dev);

pci_iounmap(dev, priv-&gt;dma_io); pci_iounmap(dev, priv-&gt;io);

... }

priv is netdev private data, but it is used after free_netdev(). It can cause use-after-free when accessing priv pointer. So, fix it by moving free_netdev() after pci_iounmap() calls.
