How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.0 python3-solv to version 0.7.5-3.12.2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python3-solv package and not the python3-solv package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.0 relevant fixed versions and status.

There is an illegal address access at ext/testcase.c in libsolv.a in libsolv through 0.7.2 that will cause a denial of service. NOTE: third parties dispute this issue stating that the issue affects the test suite and not the underlying library. It cannot be exploited in any real-world application
