How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.4 kernel-source to version 5.14.21-150400.24.184.1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

platform/x86: mxm-wmi: fix memleak in mxm_wmi_call_mxds|mx

The ACPI buffer memory (out.pointer) returned by wmi_evaluate_method() is not freed after the call, so it leads to memory leak.

The method results in ACPI buffer is not used, so just pass NULL to wmi_evaluate_method() which fixes the memory leak.
