How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.3 kernel-preempt to version 5.3.18-150300.59.170.1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

tls: fix race between tx work scheduling and socket close

Similarly to previous commit, the submitting thread (recvmsg/sendmsg) may exit as soon as the async crypto handler calls complete(). Reorder scheduling the work before calling complete(). This seems more logical in the first place, as it's the inverse order of what the submitting thread will do.
