How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.5 xorg-x11-server-sdk to version 21.1.4-150500.7.29.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream xorg-x11-server-sdk package and not the xorg-x11-server-sdk package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.5 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in the X.org server. Due to improperly tracked allocation size in _XkbSetCompatMap, a local attacker may be able to trigger a buffer overflow condition via a specially crafted payload, leading to denial of service or local privilege escalation in distributions where the X.org server is run with root privileges.
