How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.1 python2-cryptography to version 2.1.4-4.9.2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python2-cryptography package and not the python2-cryptography package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.1 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the cryptography package before 3.3.2 for Python, certain sequences of update calls to symmetrically encrypt multi-GB values could result in an integer overflow and buffer overflow, as demonstrated by the Fernet class.
