How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.6 dlm-kmp-default to version 6.4.0-150600.23.14.2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream dlm-kmp-default package and not the dlm-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:

thermal/drivers/qcom/lmh: Check for SCM availability at probe

Up until now, the necessary scm availability check has not been performed, leading to possible null pointer dereferences (which did happen for me on RB1).

Fix that.
