How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:16.0.0 kernel-docs-html to version 6.12.0-160000.9.1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

net: sxgbe: fix potential NULL dereference in sxgbe_rx()

Currently, when skb is null, the driver prints an error and then dereferences skb on the next line.

To fix this, let's add a 'break' after the error message to switch to sxgbe_rx_refill(), which is similar to the approach taken by the other drivers in this particular case, e.g. calxeda with xgmac_rx().
