How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.0 docker to version 19.03.1_ce-6.26.2 or higher.

NVD Description

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

The default OCI linux spec in oci/defaults{_linux}.go in Docker/Moby from 1.11 to current does not block /proc/acpi pathnames. The flaw allows an attacker to modify host's hardware like enabling/disabling bluetooth or turning up/down keyboard brightness.
