How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.6 kernel-obs-build to version 6.4.0-150600.23.50.1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

ipv6: mcast: add RCU protection to mld_newpack()

mld_newpack() can be called without RTNL or RCU being held.

Note that we no longer can use sock_alloc_send_skb() because ipv6.igmp_sk uses GFP_KERNEL allocations which can sleep.

Instead use alloc_skb() and charge the net->ipv6.igmp_sk socket under RCU protection.
