How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:16.0.0 kernel-azure-vdso to version 6.12.0-160000.39.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-azure-vdso package and not the kernel-azure-vdso package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:16.0.0 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ring-buffer: Initialise reader page order in rb_allocate_cpu_buffer()

In rb_allocate_cpu_buffer(), bpage->order was omitted, leaving it as 0. This is an issue for a ring-buffer with subbufs bigger than PAGE_SIZE if when freed: free_buffer_page() relies on this value. Align the value with the actual allocation size (buffer::subbuf_order).
