How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.6 kernel-azure to version 6.4.0-150600.8.5.4 or higher.

NVD Description

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

soc: fsl: qbman: Use raw spinlock for cgr_lock

smp_call_function always runs its callback in hard IRQ context, even on PREEMPT_RT, where spinlocks can sleep. So we need to use a raw spinlock for cgr_lock to ensure we aren't waiting on a sleeping task.

Although this bug has existed for a while, it was not apparent until commit ef2a8d5478b9 ("net: dpaa: Adjust queue depth on rate change") which invokes smp_call_function_single via qman_update_cgr_safe every time a link goes up or down.
