How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.7 kernel-source-azure to version 6.4.0-150700.20.24.1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

gpu: host1x: Fix race in syncpt alloc/free

Fix race condition between host1x_syncpt_alloc() and host1x_syncpt_put() by using kref_put_mutex() instead of kref_put() + manual mutex locking.

This ensures no thread can acquire the syncpt_mutex after the refcount drops to zero but before syncpt_release acquires it. This prevents races where syncpoints could be allocated while still being cleaned up from a previous release.

Remove explicit mutex locking in syncpt_release as kref_put_mutex() handles this atomically.
