Upgrade SLES:15.5 kernel-default-devel to version 5.14.21-150500.55.73.1 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:

spi: uniphier: fix reference count leak in uniphier_spi_probe()

The issue happens in several error paths in uniphier_spi_probe(). When either dma_get_slave_caps() or devm_spi_register_master() returns an error code, the function forgets to decrease the refcount of both dma_rx and dma_tx objects, which may lead to refcount leaks.

Fix it by decrementing the reference count of specific objects in those error paths.
