How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.6 kernel-azure-devel to version 6.4.0-150600.8.20.1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

wifi: cfg80211: clear wdev->cqm_config pointer on free

When we free wdev->cqm_config when unregistering, we also need to clear out the pointer since the same wdev/netdev may get re-registered in another network namespace, then destroyed later, running this code again, which results in a double-free.
