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:

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.
