How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.6 libpoppler-glib8 to version 24.03.0-150600.3.16.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libpoppler-glib8 package and not the libpoppler-glib8 package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.6 relevant fixed versions and status.

Poppler is a PDF rendering library. Versions prior to 25.06.0 use std::atomic_int for reference counting. Because std::atomic_int is only 32 bits, it is possible to overflow the reference count and trigger a use-after-free. Version 25.06.0 patches the issue.
