How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.3 glib2-tools to version 2.62.6-150200.3.36.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream glib2-tools package and not the glib2-tools package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.3 relevant fixed versions and status.

A heap-based buffer overflow problem was found in glib through an incorrect calculation of buffer size in the g_escape_uri_string() function. If the string to escape contains a very large number of unacceptable characters (which would need escaping), the calculation of the length of the escaped string could overflow, leading to a potential write off the end of the newly allocated string.
