How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.6 kernel-syms-azure to version 6.4.0-150600.8.8.1 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:

pipe: wakeup wr_wait after setting max_usage

Commit c73be61cede5 ("pipe: Add general notification queue support") a regression was introduced that would lock up resized pipes under certain conditions. See the reproducer in [1].

The commit resizing the pipe ring size was moved to a different function, doing that moved the wakeup for pipe->wr_wait before actually raising pipe->max_usage. If a pipe was full before the resize occured it would result in the wakeup never actually triggering pipe_write.

Set @max_usage and @nr_accounted before waking writers if this isn't a watch queue.
