How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.5 kernel-docs to version 5.14.21-150500.55.80.2 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:

nfc/nci: Add the inconsistency check between the input data length and count

write$nci(r0, &(0x7f0000000740)=ANY=[@ANYBLOB="610501"], 0xf)

Syzbot constructed a write() call with a data length of 3 bytes but a count value of 15, which passed too little data to meet the basic requirements of the function nci_rf_intf_activated_ntf_packet().

Therefore, increasing the comparison between data length and count value to avoid problems caused by inconsistent data length and count.
