How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.1 keepalived to version 2.0.19-3.3.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream keepalived package and not the keepalived package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.1 relevant fixed versions and status.

keepalived 2.0.8 didn't check for existing plain files when writing data to a temporary file upon a call to PrintData or PrintStats. If a local attacker had previously created a file with the expected name (e.g., /tmp/keepalived.data or /tmp/keepalived.stats), with read access for the attacker and write access for the keepalived process, then this potentially leaked sensitive information.
