NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-livepatch-5_14_21-150500_55_73-default package and not the kernel-livepatch-5_14_21-150500_55_73-default 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:

The free_rtllib() function frees the "dev" pointer so there is use after free on the next line. Re-arrange things to avoid that.
