How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.5 kernel-obs-build to version 5.14.21-150500.55.124.1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

fs: fix UAF/GPF bug in nilfs_mdt_destroy

In alloc_inode, inode_init_always() could return -ENOMEM if security_inode_alloc() fails, which causes inode->i_private uninitialized. Then nilfs_is_metadata_file_inode() returns true and nilfs_free_inode() wrongly calls nilfs_mdt_destroy(), which frees the uninitialized inode->i_private and leads to crashes(e.g., UAF/GPF).

Fix this by moving security_inode_alloc just prior to this_cpu_inc(nr_inodes)
