Upgrade SLES:15.6 kernel-syms to version 6.4.0-150600.23.7.1 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:
dm-integrity: fix a memory leak when rechecking the data
Memory for the "checksums" pointer will leak if the data is rechecked after checksum failure (because the associated kfree won't happen due to 'goto skip_io').
Fix this by freeing the checksums memory before recheck, and just use the "checksum_onstack" memory for storing checksum during recheck.
