Upgrade SLES:15.6 dlm-kmp-default to version 6.4.0-150600.23.22.1 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:
remoteproc: imx_rproc: Skip over memory region when node value is NULL
In imx_rproc_addr_init() "nph = of_count_phandle_with_args()" just counts number of phandles. But phandles may be empty. So of_parse_phandle() in the parsing loop (0 < a < nph) may return NULL which is later dereferenced. Adjust this issue by adding NULL-return check.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
