How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.5 kernel-docs to version 5.14.21-150500.55.59.1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

jfs: fix uaf in jfs_evict_inode

When the execution of diMount(ipimap) fails, the object ipimap that has been released may be accessed in diFreeSpecial(). Asynchronous ipimap release occurs when rcu_core() calls jfs_free_node().

Therefore, when diMount(ipimap) fails, sbi->ipimap should not be initialized as ipimap.
