How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.5 kernel-docs 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-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:

drm/msm/a3xx: fix error handling in a3xx_gpu_init()

These error paths returned 1 on failure, instead of a negative error code. This would lead to an Oops in the caller. A second problem is that the check for "if (ret != -ENODATA)" did not work because "ret" was set to 1.
