How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.6 kernel-default-base to version 6.4.0-150600.23.30.1.150600.12.12.6 or higher.

NVD Description

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

firmware: arm_scmi: Fix the double free in scmi_debugfs_common_setup()

Clang static checker(scan-build) throws below warning: | drivers/firmware/arm_scmi/driver.c:line 2915, column 2 | Attempt to free released memory.

When devm_add_action_or_reset() fails, scmi_debugfs_common_cleanup() will run twice which causes double free of 'dbg->name'.

Remove the redundant scmi_debugfs_common_cleanup() to fix this problem.
