CVE-2024-38603 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade SLES:15.6 kernel-syms to version 6.4.0-150600.23.14.2 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-syms package and not the kernel-syms 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:
drivers/perf: hisi: hns3: Actually use devm_add_action_or_reset()
pci_alloc_irq_vectors() allocates an irq vector. When devm_add_action() fails, the irq vector is not freed, which leads to a memory leak.
Replace the devm_add_action with devm_add_action_or_reset to ensure the irq vector can be destroyed when it fails.
