Upgrade SLES:15.1 xen-libs to version 4.12.4_12-3.52.1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

xen/arm: Boot modules are not scrubbed The bootloader will load boot modules (e.g. kernel, initramfs...) in a temporary area before they are copied by Xen to each domain memory. To ensure sensitive data is not leaked from the modules, Xen must "scrub" them before handing the page over to the allocator. Unfortunately, it was discovered that modules will not be scrubbed on Arm.
