Upgrade SLES:15.7 kernel-source to version 6.4.0-150700.53.28.1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

HID: uclogic: Correct devm device reference for hidinput input_dev name

Reference the HID device rather than the input device for the devm allocation of the input_dev name. Referencing the input_dev would lead to a use-after-free when the input_dev was unregistered and subsequently fires a uevent that depends on the name. At the point of firing the uevent, the name would be freed by devres management.

Use devm_kasprintf to simplify the logic for allocating memory and formatting the input_dev name string.
