Upgrade SLES:15.5 kernel-default-extra to version 5.14.21-150500.55.68.1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

drm/amd/display: Atom Integrated System Info v2_2 for DCN35

New request from KMD/VBIOS in order to support new UMA carveout model. This fixes a null dereference from accessing Ctx->dc_bios->integrated_info while it was NULL.

DAL parses through the BIOS and extracts the necessary integrated_info but was missing a case for the new BIOS version 2.3.
