How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.5 kernel-default-devel to version 5.14.21-150500.55.124.1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

firmware: stratix10-svc: Fix a potential resource leak in svc_create_memory_pool()

svc_create_memory_pool() is only called from stratix10_svc_drv_probe(). Most of resources in the probe are managed, but not this memremap() call.

There is also no memunmap() call in the file.

So switch to devm_memremap() to avoid a resource leak.
