How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.6 kernel-syms-azure to version 6.4.0-150600.8.20.1 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:

RDMA/bnxt_re: Avoid CPU lockups due fifo occupancy check loop

Driver waits indefinitely for the fifo occupancy to go below a threshold as soon as the pacing interrupt is received. This can cause soft lockup on one of the processors, if the rate of DB is very high.

Add a loop count for FPGA and exit the __wait_for_fifo_occupancy_below_th if the loop is taking more time. Pacing will be continuing until the occupancy is below the threshold. This is ensured by the checks in bnxt_re_pacing_timer_exp and further scheduling the work for pacing based on the fifo occupancy.
