How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.0 xen-tools to version 4.10.4_20-3.47.1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

Xen through 4.14.x allows guest OS administrators to obtain sensitive information (such as AES keys from outside the guest) via a side-channel attack on a power/energy monitoring interface, aka a "Platypus" attack. NOTE: there is only one logically independent fix: to change the access control for each such interface in Xen.
