How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.0 grub2-arm64-efi to version 2.02-19.48.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream grub2-arm64-efi package and not the grub2-arm64-efi package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.0 relevant fixed versions and status.

There is an issue with grub2 before version 2.06 while handling symlink on ext filesystems. A filesystem containing a symbolic link with an inode size of UINT32_MAX causes an arithmetic overflow leading to a zero-sized memory allocation with subsequent heap-based buffer overflow.
