How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.6 kernel-docs to version 6.4.0-150600.23.25.2 or higher.

NVD Description

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

drm/amd/display: Check UnboundedRequestEnabled's value

CalculateSwathAndDETConfiguration_params_st's UnboundedRequestEnabled is a pointer (i.e. dml_bool_t *UnboundedRequestEnabled), and thus if (p->UnboundedRequestEnabled) checks its address, not bool value.

This fixes 1 REVERSE_INULL issue reported by Coverity.
