How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.3 libcurl-devel to version 7.66.0-150200.4.84.1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

When libcurl is asked to perform automatic gzip decompression of content-encoded HTTP responses with the CURLOPT_ACCEPT_ENCODING option, using zlib 1.2.0.3 or older, an attacker-controlled integer overflow would make libcurl perform a buffer overflow.
