How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.2 python-tk to version 2.7.17-7.44.4 or higher.

NVD Description

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

http.client in Python 3.x before 3.5.10, 3.6.x before 3.6.12, 3.7.x before 3.7.9, and 3.8.x before 3.8.5 allows CRLF injection if the attacker controls the HTTP request method, as demonstrated by inserting CR and LF control characters in the first argument of HTTPConnection.request.
