Upgrade SLES:15.4 kernel-macros to version 5.14.21-150400.24.158.1 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:15.4 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

scsi: libfc: Fix use after free in fc_exch_abts_resp()

fc_exch_release(ep) will decrease the ep's reference count. When the reference count reaches zero, it is freed. But ep is still used in the following code, which will lead to a use after free.

Return after the fc_exch_release() call to avoid use after free.
