How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.4 kernel-source to version 5.14.21-150400.24.194.1 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:

scsi: hpsa: Fix possible memory leak in hpsa_init_one()

The hpda_alloc_ctlr_info() allocates h and its field reply_map. However, in hpsa_init_one(), if alloc_percpu() failed, the hpsa_init_one() jumps to clean1 directly, which frees h and leaks the h->reply_map.

Fix by calling hpda_free_ctlr_info() to release h->replay_map and h instead free h directly.
