How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.6 cluster-md-kmp-default to version 6.4.0-150600.23.38.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream cluster-md-kmp-default package and not the cluster-md-kmp-default package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.6 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ftrace: Fix regression with module command in stack_trace_filter

When executing the following command:

# echo &#34;write*:mod:ext3&#34; &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/stack_trace_filter

The current mod command causes a null pointer dereference. While commit 0f17976568b3f ("ftrace: Fix regression with module command in stack_trace_filter") has addressed part of the issue, it left a corner case unhandled, which still results in a kernel crash.
