Upgrade SLES:15.4 vim-data-common to version 8.2.5038-150000.5.21.1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream vim-data-common package and not the vim-data-common package as distributed by SLES.
See How to fix? for SLES:15.4 relevant fixed versions and status.
fileio.c in Vim prior to 8.0.1263 sets the group ownership of a .swp file to the editor's primary group (which may be different from the group ownership of the original file), which allows local users to obtain sensitive information by leveraging an applicable group membership, as demonstrated by /etc/shadow owned by root:shadow mode 0640, but /etc/.shadow.swp owned by root:users mode 0640, a different vulnerability than CVE-2017-1000382.
