How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.5 libexpat1-32bit to version 2.4.4-150400.3.17.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libexpat1-32bit package and not the libexpat1-32bit package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.5 relevant fixed versions and status.

libexpat through 2.5.0 allows a denial of service (resource consumption) because many full reparsings are required in the case of a large token for which multiple buffer fills are needed.
