How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.7 grafana to version 11.6.11-150200.3.83.1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

Every uncached /avatar/:hash request spawns a goroutine that refreshes the Gravatar image. If the refresh sits in the 10-slot worker queue longer than three seconds, the handler times out and stops listening for the result, so that goroutine blocks forever trying to send on an unbuffered channel. Sustained traffic with random hashes keeps tripping this timeout, so goroutine count grows linearly, eventually exhausting memory and causing Grafana to crash on some systems.
