How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.3 qemu-ui-spice-app to version 5.2.0-17.1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

In libslirp 4.1.0, as used in QEMU 4.2.0, tcp_subr.c misuses snprintf return values, leading to a buffer overflow in later code.
