How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.2 aide to version 0.16-24.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream aide package and not the aide package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.2 relevant fixed versions and status.

AIDE before 0.17.4 allows local users to obtain root privileges via crafted file metadata (such as XFS extended attributes or tmpfs ACLs), because of a heap-based buffer overflow.
