Upgrade SLES:15.6 kernel-syms to version 6.4.0-150600.23.14.2 or higher.

See How to fix? for SLES:15.6 relevant fixed versions and status.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cppc_cpufreq: Fix possible null pointer dereference
cppc_cpufreq_get_rate() and hisi_cppc_cpufreq_get_rate() can be called from different places with various parameters. So cpufreq_cpu_get() can return null as 'policy' in some circumstances. Fix this bug by adding null return check.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
