How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.4 kernel-default-livepatch to version 5.14.21-150400.24.161.1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

bnxt: Do not read past the end of test names

Test names were being concatenated based on a offset beyond the end of the first name, which tripped the buffer overflow detection logic:

detected buffer overflow in strnlen [...] Call Trace: bnxt_ethtool_init.cold+0x18/0x18

Refactor struct hwrm_selftest_qlist_output to use an actual array, and adjust the concatenation to use snprintf() rather than a series of strncat() calls.
