How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.2 perl-slurm to version 20.02.6-3.3.4 or higher.

NVD Description

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

Slurm before 19.05.8 and 20.x before 20.02.6 exposes Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor because xauth for X11 magic cookies is affected by a race condition in a read operation on the /proc filesystem.
