How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.6 kernel-source to version 6.4.0-150600.23.87.1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

ASoC: stm32: sai: fix OF node leak on probe

The reference taken to the sync provider OF node when probing the platform device is currently only dropped if the set_sync() callback fails during DAI probe.

Make sure to drop the reference on platform probe failures (e.g. probe deferral) and on driver unbind.

This also avoids a potential use-after-free in case the DAI is ever reprobed without first rebinding the platform driver.
