How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.3 libtirpc3 to version 1.2.6-150300.3.14.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libtirpc3 package and not the libtirpc3 package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.3 relevant fixed versions and status.

In libtirpc before 1.3.3rc1, remote attackers could exhaust the file descriptors of a process that uses libtirpc because idle TCP connections are mishandled. This can, in turn, lead to an svc_run infinite loop without accepting new connections.
