How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.6 kernel-source-coco to version 6.4.0-15061.28.coco15sp6.1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

media: mediatek: vcodec: Only free buffer VA that is not NULL

In the MediaTek vcodec driver, while mtk_vcodec_mem_free() is mostly called only when the buffer to free exists, there are some instances that didn't do the check and triggered warnings in practice.

We believe those checks were forgotten unintentionally. Add the checks back to fix the warnings.
