How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.4 ocfs2-kmp-default to version 5.14.21-150400.24.111.2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ocfs2-kmp-default package and not the ocfs2-kmp-default 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:

Input: appletouch - initialize work before device registration

Syzbot has reported warning in __flush_work(). This warning is caused by work->func == NULL, which means missing work initialization.

This may happen, since input_dev->close() calls cancel_work_sync(&dev->work), but dev->work initalization happens after input_register_device() call.

So this patch moves dev->work initialization before registering input device
