How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.2 libuuid1-32bit to version 2.33.2-4.16.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libuuid1-32bit package and not the libuuid1-32bit package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.2 relevant fixed versions and status.

An integer overflow in util-linux through 2.37.1 can potentially cause a buffer overflow if an attacker were able to use system resources in a way that leads to a large number in the /proc/sysvipc/sem file. NOTE: this is unexploitable in GNU C Library environments, and possibly in all realistic environments.
