Upgrade SLES:15.0 libu2f-host-devel to version 1.1.6-3.6.1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libu2f-host-devel package and not the libu2f-host-devel package as distributed by SLES.
See How to fix? for SLES:15.0 relevant fixed versions and status.
Yubico pam-u2f 1.0.7 attempts parsing of the configured authfile (default $HOME/.config/Yubico/u2f_keys) as root (unless openasuser was enabled), and does not properly verify that the path lacks symlinks pointing to other files on the system owned by root. If the debug option is enabled in the PAM configuration, part of the file contents of a symlink target will be logged, possibly revealing sensitive information.
