How to fix?

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

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream grub2-systemd-sleep-plugin package and not the grub2-systemd-sleep-plugin 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. During USB device initialization, descriptors are read with very little bounds checking and assumes the USB device is providing sane values. If properly exploited, an attacker could trigger memory corruption leading to arbitrary code execution allowing a bypass of the Secure Boot mechanism. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.
