How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.5 kernel-azure to version 5.14.21-150500.33.63.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-azure package and not the kernel-azure package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.5 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

hwmon: (axi-fan-control) Fix possible NULL pointer dereference

axi_fan_control_irq_handler(), dependent on the private axi_fan_control_data structure, might be called before the hwmon device is registered. That will cause an "Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference" error.
