How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.1 libpython2_7-1_0 to version 2.7.17-7.32.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libpython2_7-1_0 package and not the libpython2_7-1_0 package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.1 relevant fixed versions and status.

urllib in Python 2.x through 2.7.16 supports the local_file: scheme, which makes it easier for remote attackers to bypass protection mechanisms that blacklist file: URIs, as demonstrated by triggering a urllib.urlopen('local_file:///etc/passwd') call.
