How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.4 kernel-default-base to version 5.14.21-150400.24.122.2.150400.24.58.2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-default-base package and not the kernel-default-base package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.4 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

fbdev: imsttfb: fix a resource leak in probe

I've re-written the error handling but the bug is that if init_imstt() fails we need to call iounmap(par->cmap_regs).
