How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.6 kernel-syms-coco to version 6.4.0-15061.28.coco15sp6.1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

usb: chipidea: ci_hdrc_imx: fix usbmisc handling

usbmisc is an optional device property so it is totally valid for the corresponding data->usbmisc_data to have a NULL value.

Check that before dereferencing the pointer.
