How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.3 qemu-chardev-spice to version 5.2.0-150300.121.2 or higher.

NVD Description

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

An infinite loop flaw was found in the USB xHCI controller emulation of QEMU while computing the length of the Transfer Request Block (TRB) Ring. This flaw allows a privileged guest user to hang the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a denial of service.
