How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.0 libvirt-daemon-driver-libxl to version 4.0.0-9.19.4 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.

An incorrect permissions check was discovered in libvirt 4.8.0 and above. The readonly permission was allowed to invoke APIs depending on the guest agent, which could lead to potentially disclosing unintended information or denial of service by causing libvirt to block.
