Upgrade SLES:15.2 grub2-systemd-sleep-plugin to version 2.04-150200.9.68.1 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.

When rendering certain unicode sequences, grub2's font code doesn't proper validate if the informed glyph's width and height is constrained within bitmap size. As consequence an attacker can craft an input which will lead to a out-of-bounds write into grub2's heap, leading to memory corruption and availability issues. Although complex, arbitrary code execution could not be discarded.
