Upgrade SLES:15.6 kernel-syms to version 6.4.0-150600.23.17.1 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:
pinctrl: devicetree: fix refcount leak in pinctrl_dt_to_map()
If we fail to allocate propname buffer, we need to drop the reference count we just took. Because the pinctrl_dt_free_maps() includes the droping operation, here we call it directly.
