How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.3 reiserfs-kmp-default to version 5.3.18-59.13.1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

In kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel before 5.12.13, a branch can be mispredicted (e.g., because of type confusion) and consequently an unprivileged BPF program can read arbitrary memory locations via a side-channel attack, aka CID-9183671af6db.
