How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.0 binutils-gold to version 2.32-6.8.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream binutils-gold package and not the binutils-gold package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.0 relevant fixed versions and status.

An issue was discovered in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.31. An invalid memory address dereference was discovered in read_reloc in reloc.c. The vulnerability causes a segmentation fault and application crash, which leads to denial of service, as demonstrated by objdump, because of missing _bfd_clear_contents bounds checking.
