How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.3 glibc-locale-base-32bit to version 2.31-9.3.2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream glibc-locale-base-32bit package and not the glibc-locale-base-32bit package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.3 relevant fixed versions and status.

The wordexp function in the GNU C Library (aka glibc) through 2.33 may crash or read arbitrary memory in parse_param (in posix/wordexp.c) when called with an untrusted, crafted pattern, potentially resulting in a denial of service or disclosure of information. This occurs because atoi was used but strtoul should have been used to ensure correct calculations.
