Upgrade SLES:16.0.0 kernel-source-vanilla to version 6.12.0-160000.6.1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

Bluetooth: btintel: Check dsbr size from EFI variable

Since the size of struct btintel_dsbr is already known, we can just start there instead of querying the EFI variable size. If the final result doesn't match what we expect also fail. This fixes a stack buffer overflow when the EFI variable is larger than struct btintel_dsbr.
