How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.2 grub2-x86_64-xen 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-xen package and not the grub2-x86_64-xen package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.2 relevant fixed versions and status.

There's an issue with grub2 in all versions before 2.06 when handling squashfs filesystems containing a symbolic link with name length of UINT32 bytes in size. The name size leads to an arithmetic overflow leading to a zero-size allocation further causing a heap-based buffer overflow with attacker controlled data.
