How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.1 libatomic1-32bit to version 9.2.1+r275327-1.3.7 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libatomic1-32bit package and not the libatomic1-32bit package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.1 relevant fixed versions and status.

The POWER9 backend in GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) before version 10 could optimize multiple calls of the __builtin_darn intrinsic into a single call, thus reducing the entropy of the random number generator. This occurred because a volatile operation was not specified. For example, within a single execution of a program, the output of every __builtin_darn() call may be the same.
