How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.4 busybox to version 1.35.0-150400.3.3.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream busybox package and not the busybox package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.4 relevant fixed versions and status.

Integer overflow in the DHCP client (udhcpc) in BusyBox before 1.25.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a malformed RFC1035-encoded domain name, which triggers an out-of-bounds heap write.
