How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.3 grub2-i386-pc to version 2.04-150300.22.20.2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream grub2-i386-pc package and not the grub2-i386-pc package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.3 relevant fixed versions and status.

A crafted 16-bit grayscale PNG image may lead to a out-of-bounds write in the heap area. An attacker may take advantage of that to cause heap data corruption or eventually arbitrary code execution and circumvent secure boot protections. This issue has a high complexity to be exploited as an attacker needs to perform some triage over the heap layout to achieve signifcant results, also the values written into the memory are repeated three times in a row making difficult to produce valid payloads. This flaw affects grub2 versions prior grub-2.12.
