How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.6 kernel-livepatch-6_4_0-150600_10_39-rt to version 1-150600.1.3.2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-livepatch-6_4_0-150600_10_39-rt package and not the kernel-livepatch-6_4_0-150600_10_39-rt 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:

net: ipv6: fix dst ref loops in rpl, seg6 and ioam6 lwtunnels

Some lwtunnels have a dst cache for post-transformation dst. If the packet destination did not change we may end up recording a reference to the lwtunnel in its own cache, and the lwtunnel state will never be freed.

Discovered by the ioam6.sh test, kmemleak was recently fixed to catch per-cpu memory leaks. I'm not sure if rpl and seg6 can actually hit this, but in principle I don't see why not.
