Upgrade SLES:15.1 kernel-default-man to version 4.12.14-197.4.1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-default-man package and not the kernel-default-man package as distributed by SLES.
See How to fix? for SLES:15.1 relevant fixed versions and status.
Jonathan Looney discovered that the TCP retransmission queue implementation in tcp_fragment in the Linux kernel could be fragmented when handling certain TCP Selective Acknowledgment (SACK) sequences. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. This has been fixed in stable kernel releases 4.4.182, 4.9.182, 4.14.127, 4.19.52, 5.1.11, and is fixed in commit f070ef2ac66716357066b683fb0baf55f8191a2e.
