How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.2 libjasper4 to version 2.0.14-3.19.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libjasper4 package and not the libjasper4 package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.2 relevant fixed versions and status.

There's a flaw in jasper's jpc encoder in versions prior to 2.0.23. Crafted input provided to jasper by an attacker could cause an arbitrary out-of-bounds write. This could potentially affect data confidentiality, integrity, or application availability.
