How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:16.0.0 kernel-kvmsmall to version 6.12.0-160000.37.1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

tpm: tpm_i2c_infineon: Fix locality leak on get_burstcount() failure

get_burstcount() can return -EBUSY on timeout. When this happens, the function returns directly without releasing the locality that was acquired at the beginning of tpm_tis_i2c_send().

Use goto out_err to ensure proper cleanup when get_burstcount() fails.
