How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.6 reiserfs-kmp-default to version 6.4.0-150600.23.47.2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream reiserfs-kmp-default package and not the reiserfs-kmp-default 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:

media: imx-jpeg: Fix potential error pointer dereference in detach_pm()

The proble is on the first line:

if (jpeg-&gt;pd_dev[i] &amp;&amp; !pm_runtime_suspended(jpeg-&gt;pd_dev[i]))

If jpeg->pd_dev[i] is an error pointer, then passing it to pm_runtime_suspended() will lead to an Oops. The other conditions check for both error pointers and NULL, but it would be more clear to use the IS_ERR_OR_NULL() check for that.
