How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.7 gfs2-kmp-default to version 6.4.0-150700.53.16.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gfs2-kmp-default package and not the gfs2-kmp-default package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.7 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

clk: davinci: Add NULL check in davinci_lpsc_clk_register()

devm_kasprintf() returns NULL when memory allocation fails. Currently, davinci_lpsc_clk_register() does not check for this case, which results in a NULL pointer dereference.

Add NULL check after devm_kasprintf() to prevent this issue and ensuring no resources are left allocated.
