How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.7 kernel-docs to version 6.4.0-150700.53.81.1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

xfs: fix ilock leak on error in xfs_dq_get_next_id

xfs_dq_get_next_id() takes the quota inode ILOCK before calling xfs_iread_extents(). If xfs_iread_extents() fails, the function returns immediately without releasing the lock, leaking the quota inode ILOCK. This can leave the quota inode locked and cause subsequent quota operations to hang.

Fix this by jumping to a common unlock path on error instead of returning directly.
