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:

ftrace: Avoid potential division by zero in function_stat_show()

Check whether denominator expression x * (x - 1) * 1000 mod {2^32, 2^64} produce zero and skip stddev computation in that case.

For now don't care about rec->counter * rec->counter overflow because rec->time * rec->time overflow will likely happen earlier.
