How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.6 kernel-syms-coco to version 6.4.0-15061.6.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:

drm/amd/display: Skip wbscl_set_scaler_filter if filter is null

Callers can pass null in filter (i.e. from returned from the function wbscl_get_filter_coeffs_16p) and a null check is added to ensure that is not the case.

This fixes 4 NULL_RETURNS issues reported by Coverity.
