How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.0 wireshark to version 2.4.12-3.19.1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

In Wireshark 2.4.0 to 2.4.11, the ENIP dissector could crash. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-enip.c by changing the memory-management approach so that a use-after-free is avoided.
