How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.4 distribution-registry to version 2.8.1-150400.9.18.1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

A flaw was found in the /v2/_catalog endpoint in distribution/distribution, which accepts a parameter to control the maximum number of records returned (query string: n). This vulnerability allows a malicious user to submit an unreasonably large value for n, causing the allocation of a massive string array, possibly causing a denial of service through excessive use of memory.
