How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.5 kernel-source 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-source package and not the kernel-source 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:

clk: zynq: Prevent null pointer dereference caused by kmalloc failure

The kmalloc() in zynq_clk_setup() will return null if the physical memory has run out. As a result, if we use snprintf() to write data to the null address, the null pointer dereference bug will happen.

This patch uses a stack variable to replace the kmalloc().
