How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.2 grub2 to version 2.04-9.34.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream grub2 package and not the grub2 package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.2 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in grub2 in versions prior to 2.06. The option parser allows an attacker to write past the end of a heap-allocated buffer by calling certain commands with a large number of specific short forms of options. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.
