How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.2 grub2-x86_64-efi to version 2.04-9.7.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream grub2-x86_64-efi package and not the grub2-x86_64-efi package as distributed by SLES:15.2. See How to fix? for SLES:15.2 relevant fixed versions and status.

There is an issue on grub2 before version 2.06 at function read_section_as_string(). It expects a font name to be at max UINT32_MAX - 1 length in bytes but it doesn't verify it before proceed with buffer allocation to read the value from the font value. An attacker may leverage that by crafting a malicious font file which has a name with UINT32_MAX, leading to read_section_as_string() to an arithmetic overflow, zero-sized allocation and further heap-based buffer overflow.
