How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.6 kernel-syms-azure to version 6.4.0-150600.8.5.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-syms-azure package and not the kernel-syms-azure 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:

packet: annotate data-races around ignore_outgoing

ignore_outgoing is read locklessly from dev_queue_xmit_nit() and packet_getsockopt()

Add appropriate READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() annotations.
