How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.2 xen-tools to version 4.13.5_12-150200.3.93.1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

Because of a logical error in XSA-407 (Branch Type Confusion), the mitigation is not applied properly when it is intended to be used. XSA-434 (Speculative Return Stack Overflow) uses the same infrastructure, so is equally impacted.
