Out-of-bounds Read Affecting kernel-macros package, versions <5.14.21-150500.55.80.2
Threat Intelligence
The probability is the direct output of the EPSS model, and conveys an overall sense of the threat of exploitation in the wild. The percentile measures the EPSS probability relative to all known EPSS scores. Note: This data is updated daily, relying on the latest available EPSS model version. Check out the EPSS documentation for more details.

CVE-2022-48871 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade SLES:15.5 kernel-macros 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-macros package and not the kernel-macros 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:
tty: serial: qcom-geni-serial: fix slab-out-of-bounds on RX FIFO buffer
Driver's probe allocates memory for RX FIFO (port->rx_fifo) based on default RX FIFO depth, e.g. 16. Later during serial startup the qcom_geni_serial_port_setup() updates the RX FIFO depth (port->rx_fifo_depth) to match real device capabilities, e.g. to 32.
The RX UART handle code will read "port->rx_fifo_depth" number of words into "port->rx_fifo" buffer, thus exceeding the bounds. This can be observed in certain configurations with Qualcomm Bluetooth HCI UART device and KASAN:

If the RX FIFO depth changes after probe, be sure to resize the buffer.
