How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.7 kernel-source-azure to version 6.4.0-150700.20.27.1 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:

crypto: seqiv - Do not use req->iv after crypto_aead_encrypt

As soon as crypto_aead_encrypt is called, the underlying request may be freed by an asynchronous completion. Thus dereferencing req->iv after it returns is invalid.

Instead of checking req->iv against info, create a new variable unaligned_info and use it for that purpose instead.
