How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.1 nmap to version 7.70-3.5.1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

Nmap through 7.70, when the -sV option is used, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack consumption and application crash) via a crafted TCP-based service.
