How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.0 libvirt-daemon-driver-libxl to version 4.0.0-9.27.1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

It was discovered that libvirtd, versions 4.x.x before 4.10.1 and 5.x.x before 5.4.1, would permit readonly clients to use the virDomainManagedSaveDefineXML() API, which would permit them to modify managed save state files. If a managed save had already been created by a privileged user, a local attacker could modify this file such that libvirtd would execute an arbitrary program when the domain was resumed.
