How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.7 rsync to version 3.2.7-150600.3.21.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rsync package and not the rsync package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.7 relevant fixed versions and status.

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the rsync daemon. This issue is due to improper handling of attacker-controlled checksum lengths (s2length) in the code. When MAX_DIGEST_LEN exceeds the fixed SUM_LENGTH (16 bytes), an attacker can write out of bounds in the sum2 buffer.
